By Sam Fountain, 13 September 2007, emailed 3 times

As the bidding war for the UK arms of publishing giant, Emap brews, the group has announced the sale of its Australian division to ACP Magazines for £38m.
Emap sold the business, which reported an operating profit of A$2m from revenues of A$66m for the year to March on a debt free, cash free basis for a cash consideration of A$94m.

Emap will continue to benefit from licence revenues from the Australian editions of ZOO, FHM, Empire, Mother & Baby and Pregnancy & Birth following the sale, the company said.“Over the last ten years, and through a total launch and acquisition investment of some A$29m, we have grown Emap Australia into a leading player in its market,” said chief executive of consumer media for Emap, Paul Keenan. ”The outcome of this transaction reflects the quality of the brands and activities we have built in Australia and the depth of creative talent we have developed there.”Shares in Emap remain largely unchanged at 898p, which values the firm at £1.94bn.

What is Emap?

EMAP plc is a
British media company, specializing in the production of magazines, and the organization of business events and conferences. It also owns several radio and television stations. "EMAP" is an abbreviation of East Midland Allied Press. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange. After a period as a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index, it has been demoted to the FTSE 250 Index with effect from 16 September 2005.
The group is structurally divided into main branches: "EMAP Consumer Media", "EMAP Communications", "
EMAP Radio" and "EMAP Advertising". On 20 June 2006 "EMAP France" was sold to Italian press group Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A. for €545 million.

On
29 September 2006, "EMAP France" became officially "Mondadori France". On July 27 2007, Emap announced that it was undertaking a review of the structure of the group in response to receiving a number of unsolicited proposals to purchase parts of the company. The annoucement effectively put the company up for sale, according to a MediaGuardian article published on the subject. This comes at a time when the company is without a Chief Excutive after the sudden departure of Tom Maloney from the company earlier in the year after a series of profit warnings.

Emap radio boss quitsJulia DayTuesday February 28, 2006MediaGuardian.co.uk
One of Emap's most senior radio executives, Shaun Gregory, is leaving the company after a decade.


Mr Gregory, the Emap Performance managing director of national radio brands, was responsible for networks Kiss, Magic, Kerrang!, Smash Hits, Q, Heat, The Hits and Mojo. He also oversaw Emap's digital plans and its radio development team.
He told staff at Emap about his departure today and is believed to want to spend more time with his young family after moving from Sheffield to Sussex. Mr Gregory is leaving the company at the end of the week and is unlikely to be replaced.


His staff will now report to Dee Ford, the Emap head of radio, who said: "We often refer to the growth opportunities offered to those people within Emap who can demonstrate ability and delivery - Shaun is a living example of this in practice.

"Shaun leaves with my personal thanks for all the passion, drive and delivery that he has brought to Emap radio over the past 10 years."

Starting his career at Emap as local sales manager at Liverpool's Radio City, Mr Gregory was previously Emap Performance's director of development, masterminding the strategy behind Emap's string of digital radio station launches, before being promoted to oversee all Emap's national radio brands 16 months ago.
