IMG Media has purchased Tennis Week magazine and its Web site TennisWeek.com. Terms of the deal, which quietly closed late last month, were not disclosed. IMG Media, a unit of sports management company IMG, is mainly known for producing and distributing videos, including sports programs, documentaries and other entertainment shows. More recently, however, IMG moved into publishing with IMG Media. Currently, the unit publishes The Daily, the Daily MINI, and the online site fashionweekdaily.com--all focused on the fashion world. Brandusa Niro, editor in chief and publications director for IMG's publications division, will oversee editorial content at Tennis Week. Last year, IMG Media partnered with Sprint to provide footage for its new mobile sports and entertainment network, "Power View." That network kicked off with seven shows covering the NFL, entertainment news and gossip and New York's Fashion Week, among other topics.
