Tom Bureau, CEO, Immediate Media Co

“Immediate’s portfolio of special interest brands continue to perform strongly across all platforms. The outstanding performance of the May issue of BBC Gardeners’ World magazine and our Youth and Children’s portfolio demonstrates the enduring appeal of quality print titles on the newsstand.

Both Radio Times and _BBC Good Food_, the biggest weekly and monthly magazine brands in the UK, have grown their reach with record-breaking digital audience numbers. And we continue to transform our business model, with the acquisition of specialist event producers Upper Street Events and River Street Events earlier this year, we have further enhanced our live events capabilities focused on specialist interest communities and now engage 26m consumers in the UK a month.”

We have delivered a standout performance in our gardening titles. Our magazines enhance the lives of our audiences through entertainment, information and inspiration, and bring together communities of people with shared passions, delivering quality attention at exceptional value to advertisers.

Angie O'Farrell, Group Managing Director, TI Media

“TI Media is a bastion for quality editorial and our continued investment in trusted content is paying dividends. woman&home has grown its share of the women’s lifestyle sector, is significantly outperforming the market and against its competitors, is once again the biggest-selling title at the newsstand.

“In the last year, every title in TI Media’s market-leading homes portfolio has undergone editorial redevelopment and this period it outperforms the market. Style at Home reports a stand-out period-on-period performance, boasting a 6.3% uplift and a 9.0% increase in copies sold at the newsstand. Country Homes & Interiors has grown its combined circulation, up 1.2% on the year. Ideal Home continues to sell more copies than any other title in the mainstream market by some measure and in the modern sub-sector, Living etc once again outsells its competitors at the newsstand. Homes & Gardens, Britain’s oldest decorating magazine, celebrated its centenary in June with its biggest advertising generating issue in recent years, with advertising revenues for the edition up a staggering 136% year-on-year.

“Woman’s Weekly’s loyal audience sees the title reign as number one in the traditional weeklies market in terms of volume for the 20th consecutive period, no mean feat in the context of our decision to remove the title from multi-pack promotions. We have followed that same strategy for both Woman and Woman's Own and I am proud that they have held their market positions, pointing to the editorial strength of these famous brands.

“We continue to lead the TV listings market in terms of RSVand have strengthened our position, increasing our share of newsstand RSV by a further 0.6% in the last six months.”
