Meredith Buys Disney's 'FamilyFun' Magazine

Company continues buying spree

Meredith Corp. is continuing its buying spree, acquiring FamilyFun from Disney Publishing Worldwide, which has been shedding its magazines in recent years. Disney's last big magazine push was Wondertime, which launched in 2006 and was shut down three years later.

Meredith already is well supplied with parenting magazines, but FamilyFun fills a slightly different niche; it targets mothers of kids ages 3-12, picking up where Meredith’s Parents, aimed at moms of toddlers and very young children, leaves off.
