Salem Expands Its Conservative/Christian Media Empire
Posted by David Holland in The Bridge on February 17, 2010
This is interesting . . .Salem Communications has purchased the Hot Air online site for an undisclosed sum. So says this exclusive story over at Mediaite.
Hot Air is a popular conservative news and blog aggregator with an emphasis on online video. It was co-founded by Michelle Malkin back in 2004 and rapidly built a huge online following.
Salem Communications used to be radio only company. Then it went public several years ago and began to rapidly diversify its activities–adding publishing and online components to its roster of radio properties.
Currently that list of owned-and-operated stations has grown to nearly 100, including strong stations in the top 25 media markets. But Salem’s truly aggressive growth has been through online acquisitions.
Right now Salem owns the following sites: Townhall.com, OnePlace.com, Crosswalk.com, ChristianJobs.com, Christianity.com, SermonSearch.com, Churchstaffing.com, Crosscards.com, Crossdaily.com, Lightsource.com, TheFISH.com, CCMmagazine.com.
You can now ad HotAir.com to that impressive list.
