Annoucement: QM Media Takeover

1st Apr 2003

Hi Users,
a new administration, editorial and management team has today replaced the old one to provide you with an even better and wackier service than before! The team is made up of personnel with a wealth of cross-platform media experience with highly successful companies such as Rivals Media (Football365.com and Rugby365.com), utvinternet.com, Irish Independent Ltd, Dublin's 98FM and the well known and ever popular 96FM who you will all know. The team will endeavour to provide you and the new, broader audience with unrivalled content and competitions similar to 96FM's legendary cash-call!

The new administration team would like to announce that as and from today the website's target audience will change from a highly localised Cork audience to a broader, more cosmopolitan one, namely those in Dublin and the UK. To encourage this audience to participate it will be necessary to remove locally-specific features such as the Cork Dictionary, the Roy Keane Game, etc. and many of the Cork-specific articles written by the founders of the website.(Therefore if you wish to keep a copy of the articles it has been suggested that you save them before they are removed later this week.)

As you might have anticipated the name of the website will also change, as will the website's URL. Please tune to 96FM for further updates.

Existing products will be available in both the online and offline shops until stocks run out. The online shop will soon contain exciting new clothing products such as beautiful hand woven Aran sweaters, Celtic and Anglo Saxon sculpture, as well as many hand-made ornaments and gift items manufactured in the British Isles. A dynamic new online music shop will also be unveiled in association with QM Distribution who distribute the likes of Christy Moore, The Dubliners and Oasis. Please go to the website to see the new ads which will give you an idea of the exciting new look we are preparing! We guarantee that this website is going to be wackier and even zanier than before. As we like to say at QM, everything we do has got to be crazy with a capital K!

Yours sincerely,
Ian Windsor
Managing Director
QM Media
