May 28, 20195 yr Quote 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. 6 So..... yeah
May 29, 20195 yr 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.

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.
July 3, 20195 yr 2019, but also 2020 news. Brooks won the swim search. https://www.si.com/swim-daily/2019/07/01/brooks-nader-first-rookie-si-swimsuit-2020
August 22, 20195 yr I don't think it's going to get better anytime soon. They had some real good models (Barbara, Kelsey, Robin, Olivia, Haley for example) but the whole any body type is now an SI Swimsuit body isn't working for them.
August 23, 20195 yr Well, SISE would never have the cultural impact in 2019 that it did in say 1985, but MJ definitely helped the decline along with her "activism through swimsuit issue".

My sense is, at least in terms of general popularity, relevance, and endurance in the news cycle: This was always going to happen, even if Bellazon had picked their dream model and photographer lineup. The most generous read on MJ as an editor is that she understood this, and "activism through swimsuit issue" has been her attempt to cling to relevance. It was never a great idea or likely to work in the long-term, though it was probably one of the few options on the table. Honestly, they'd probably move more copies and do better ratings if they changed it to the Cosplay Issue, lol.
October 1, 20195 yr Shoots are starting this week! Also, Chris Stone is stepping down at SI. Not directly SISWIM, but he has had a hand in it for a while. He has been with the company since 92. https://nypost.com/2019/10/01/sports-illustrated-shake-up-kicks-off/
