BREAKING NEWS & VIEWS

Reed Sells B&C, Multichannel News, TWICE to NewBay
Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Reed Business Information-U.S. sold its longstanding TV trade pubs Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News to NewBay Media, a b2b publisher with a large presence in the broadcast/video space. Also sold to NewBay was This Week in Consumer Electronics (TWICE).

“We’re truly excited to have the opportunity to work with this talented team and to have these market-leading brands join the NewBay family,” said Steve Palm, CEO, NewBay Media, in a statement. “This acquisition further demonstrates NewBay’s commitment to our goal of delivering value to our advertisers, readers, and partners in these critical markets."

Among NewBay's broadcast/video magazine brands are Government Video, TV Technology, Television Broadcast and Videography. NewBay also publishes the NAB Daily News show daily.

Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News had been very competitive brands for Reed, but were eventually affected by broadcast and cable industry consolidation, prior to the challenges of the advertising drop-off that has reshaped most magazine publishers. Through September, B&C's ad pages have declined by 51.12% compared to January-September 2008, according to IMS/The Auditor. Multichannel's ad pages have declined by 43.7% across the same period. (See min's b2b for category ad-page boxscores.)

The Jordan, Edmiston Group brokered the deal for RBI.
