Here Media Inc. is an LGBT-oriented media company. It produces and distributes niche content focused on LGBT consumers across a multi-platform global network including television, video on demand (VOD), broadband, online, print, and mobile.
The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, with an additional office in New York City.
Here Media was founded in 2009 by CEO Paul Colichman and Chairman Stephen P. Jarchow when Here Networks LLC and Regent Entertainment Media Inc. formed a business combination with PlanetOut Inc.
Here Media Inc. earns primarily subscription and advertising revenue from its content networks including Here TV, print brands The Advocate, OUT, and HIV Plus, and online properties including Gay.com, Advocate.com, OUT.com, SheWired, Gay.net, OUTTraveler.com, and HIVPlusMag.com.
Here TV is an American premium television network targeting LGBT audiences. Launched in 2002, Here is available nationwide on all major cable systems, fiber optics systems, and Internet TV providers as either a 24/7 premium subscription channel, a video on demand (VOD) service, and/or a subscription video on demand (SVOD) service.
Regent Entertainment Media Inc. (now known as Here Publishing Inc. and currently a subsidiary of Here Media Inc.) bought rights to the publication in 2008. The company began printing The Advocate monthly, focusing on in-depth interviews and feature news stories. At the same time, Here Media used The Advocate's web property, Advocate.com, to report news, political, and entertainment stories. The title has since been shifted to a print edition every other month. Launched in 1967, The Advocate recently celebrated 45 years of publishing.
Regent Entertainment Media Inc. obtained Out in the same acquisition deal as The Advocate. Since acquiring the title, Here Media has expanded the magazine’s Web presence, OUT.com, and worked to create a strong mobile application presence. Here Media has continued the tradition of hosting the annual OUT100 event and unveiling the “annual top 100 list of influential LGBT personalities.” In October 2013, OUT celebrated its 20th anniversary.
