MacTalk moves to Niche Media

Tech site MacTalk has been sold to publisher Niche Media, which already publishes Macworld Australia.

The announcement comes four months after owner Anthony Agius put Mactalk up for sale, seeking offers of more than $125,000.

In an announcement posted on MacTalk, Agius said that he would be staying on board for the next three months – and that the two Mac publications would not be merging.

He said: “There were many bidders for MacTalk, but ultimately, I decided to pass MacTalk on to Niche because they are one of the few, perhaps the only publisher who can take MacTalk further, whilst bring true to it’s roots. Niche have been in the Apple sphere for over 20 years.”
