I just want to say that I find funny how Tropic of C (Candice's swim line) made it to SI before Candice.:rofl:

You can tell how little the actual people working on this year's issue cared about it with the way they just suddenly dumped all the intimates videos on their channel at once.

Meredith sells Sports Illustrated to Authentic Brands to further digital push

Media company Meredith said on Monday it has agreed to sell Sports Illustrated to U.S-based entertainment company Authentic Brands Group for $110 million, as it looks to scale its digital media business.

The companies also formed a strategic partnership to build a global media platform and develop broad-based licensing programs under the Sports Illustrated brand that will include product, original content and live events.

 

The purchase includes New York-headquartered Authentic Brands getting the intellectual property of the iconic magazine that will comprise of Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated Kids, Sportsperson of the Year, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, SI and SI TV, the companies said in a statement.

“As one of the most iconic brands in sports media, SI is a cultural centerpiece with massive opportunities for growth across it's burgeoning digital, TV and social platforms and industry-leading print magazine,” Authentic Brands Chief Executive Jamie Salter said in the statement.

Authentic Brands would take on the marketing, business development and licensing functions for the Sports Illustrated intellectual property and brand, which has over 120 million consumers, while the print magazine and SI.com would continue to function independently under Meredith and Editor-in-Chief Chris Stone and Publisher Danny Lee, the companies said .Meredith National Media Group President Jon Werther said the company wants to fully integrate Sports Illustrated’s print and digital products into Meredith’s operations .Meredith in turn will pay ABG a licensing fee to operate them for a minimum of two years.

 

Meredith, which acquired Sports Illustrated magazine as part of its $1.84 billion acquisition of Time Inc, had hired advisers to explore its sale along with considering options for Time, Fortune and Money magazines, as the company sees these titles as not playing to its core strength in women’s magazines.

FanSided digital platform, which Meredith is currently in the process of selling, is not part of the deal, the statement added.

Houlihan Lokey acted as Meredith’s financial advisor in the agreement.

So..... yeah

So, the cover models didn't go on any talk shows or anything to promote the magazine? I only saw like one day of press the day the covers were revealed and that's IT. I feel like it was dropped out into the world and then forgotten about already. 

So....

:rofl: 

While I do think the decreased quality has resulted in a declining interest of the magazine, I think this change is also tied significantly to SI not trying to hide the model identities anymore. 

 

Before we would have pages and pages of discussion trying to match moles on the previews, and cyberstalking the location of models to see if they were on the shoot. We didn’t get any of that preamble this year.
