Emmis Publishing Announces Purchase of Orange Coast Magazine
Premiere West Coast publication joins Emmis Publishing lineup
INDIANAPOLIS, July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Emmis Publishing L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emmis Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:EMMS), today announced that it has purchased Orange Coast Kommunications, Inc., the publisher of market-leader Orange Coast magazine, from Ruth Ko. No purchase price was disclosed.
"Orange Coast magazine is a dominant, well-established publication that has served Orange County, California, extremely well since 1974," said Gary Thoe, president of Emmis Publishing. "As the leading magazine in the market, it boasts strong readership and a dominant market position. We think there are some interesting possibilities that exist with our ownership of Los Angeles magazine and Tu Ciudad Los Angeles that make this acquisition particularly intriguing. We are very excited about the future."
"I am thrilled that Emmis Publishing is the successful bidder," said Ruth Ko. "Orange Coast magazine is a perfect fit with Emmis' portfolio of quality lifestyle publications, and the company clearly understands the unique attributes that distinguish Orange Coast from its worthy competitors. Above all, this acquisition is a testament to the creative talents and business skills of my superb team. Today, I feel just like a very proud parent."
Orange Coast magazine, which has 26 full- and part-time employees, has a distribution of 60,000 in this largely upscale community. The average reader has a home valued at $1.8 million and a household income of $266,229.
Ko, who has owned the magazine since 1991, has been associated with Orange Coast for 32 of its 33 years of existence, as employee, executive and owner. Regional Media Advisors represented Orange Coast Kommunications in this transaction.
