Remnant Media

Remnant Media

Remnant Media was a British company which published a variety of pornographic magazines.

On 1 March 2004 Richard Desmond's company Northern and Shell sold a package of 45 titles, for about £20m, to Remnant Media in order to help reshape Desmond's image as part of his strategy to bid for the "The Daily Telegraph".

The Bank of Scotland became embroiled in controversy by lending Remnant Media £5 million towards the financing package. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/3556849.stm "Bank apologises for porn funding"] , BBC News, 22 March 2004]

The company's most notorious title was "Asian Babes" magazine. Other magazines published under its "Fantasy Publications" brand included "Readers Wives", "Horny Housewives", "Mega Boobs", "Mothers-in-Law", "Big Ones", "Just 18" and "60 Plus".

Remnant Media also published the gay lifestyle magazine "attitude" until January 2007.

Remnant Media entered administration in late 2007 after a bankruptcy order was made against owner Simon Robinson. The assets of the company were soon sold to Trojan Publishing, itself soon acquired by Interactive Publishing. [Simon Bowers.
