IMAS PUBLISHING & PHILLIPS BUSINESS TO LAUNCH BROADBAND TITLE IN CHINA.

IMAS Publishing (Falls Church, VA), a publisher of broadcast magazines for the domestic and international markets, and Phillips Business Information (Potomac, MD) have entered into a partnership to begin the publication of Broadband China magazine in Spring 2001. The title will launch at the China Cable Broadcast Network (CCBN) show in Beijing next March.

The company said the new title will cover technology and business topics relevant to China's broadband market and will be targeted to broadband technology decision-makers at China's national, provincial and local prefecture/county levels. Editorial will include original content from IMAS' technology writers already in China (Broadcast & Production China) as well as from Phillips' Cable Group magazines, including Communications Technology and CT International.

IMAS Publishing president Steve Dana said "we've been publishing successfully in China for over five years and PBI's Cable Group is recognized worldwide as an authority on broadband and cable technology topics. Together we will create a high-level publication that will reach all of China's top broadband decision-makers."

IMAS produces 17 broadcast and professional audio industry magazines worldwide through five major brand titles, including Broadcast & Production, Audio Media, Pro Audio Review, TV Technology and Radio World.
