NEW YORK — A technology platform and media company that boasts some 265 brands including Sports Illustrated, Men’s Journal and Parade has signed a “definitive agreement” that will see it merge with the subsidiary of Simplify Inventions LLC that houses the fast-growing 24/7 all-news broadcast network NewsNet.
As Vince Bodiford sees it, the deal that brings the companies together allows Arena Group Holdings and Bridge Media Networks to “fully harness the potential of strong media brands, audience engagement and multiple platforms anchored in the digital, print and broadcasting spaces.”
