 PROFILE
United Business Media (UBM) is a house divided between publishing and business services. Formerly United News & Media, the company's holdings include high-tech publisher CMP Media ("InformationWeek, InternetWeek") and market research firms like Audits & Surveys and Mediamark Research. Other businesses include news service PR Newswire, UK classified publisher Dalton's, and a stake in broadcaster Channel 5 (35%). After a proposed merger with broadcaster Carlton Communications was called off in 2000, the company sold significant parts of its media business, including its consumer magazines and portions of its Miller Freeman exhibition unit. UBM also sold its stake ITV to Granada.
