(NASHVILLE, TN) — CCM Magazine, the preeminent voice of the Christian music scene, has been acquired from Salem Media Group by Logan and Amanda Sekulow. Plans for a full brand relaunch will be announced at a later date, however new content will begin immediately at CCMmagazine.com, YouTube and social media platforms.
The new owners will be creating a network of exclusive content with an expansive editorial and digital team, including streaming video, podcasts and much more.
“CCM has decades of incredible archives and we are diving in,” says Logan Sekulow. "We grew up on CCM and it’s time to give proper respect to the history of the genre and to those that got us here.”
Originally founded in 1978, the iconic music publication was the first to coin the phrase “CCM” for Contemporary Christian Music which had previously been known simply as "Jesus Music." As the Contemporary Christian Music scene mushroomed into a billion dollar industry, "Christian music" became widely regarded as an actual genre, even though it included rock, pop, hip-hop, punk, metal and other styles of music. ?
"Salem and the Sekulow family have worked together for more than 30 years,” says David P. Santrella, Chief Executive Officer at Salem Media Group. "As Salem focuses more on the audiences related to our Christian Teaching and Talk and our News Talk content, we’re thrilled to put CCM Magazine into the hands of a passionate and capable group that will grow and maintain the integrity of the product."
“We look forward to partnering with and showcasing Christian media and creators in all forms,” says Amanda Sekulow. "We believe the future is very bright for Christian media. We have seen amazing creators arrive to the scene and CCM Magazine will once again be the premier outlet to showcase how God is moving in creative ways. The new era begins now.”
