 PROFILE
Among Britain's publishing royalty, IPC Media (formerly IPC Magazines) is the ruler, although it is about to join a large American media family. The UK's #1 magazine publisher, which AOL Time Warner subsidiary Time has agreed to buy, has a collection of nearly 100 titles. Its brands are grouped into five core divisions: Connect ("Woman's Weekly"), Country & Leisure Media ("Horse & Hound"), Music & Sport ("Loaded"), SouthBank ("Marie Claire"), TX ("What's on TV"). Focusing on its core markets, IPC has created online and new media brands including nme.com (music), BEME.com (women's network), and decanter (wine), among others. Institutional investors led by the British venture capital firm Cinven own IPC Media.
