Salem Media Group Announces the Sale of Regnery Publishing

Salem Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SALM) announced today that it has reached an agreement with Skyhorse Publishing to sell Regnery Publishing. The company expects to close the transaction by the end of the year.

David Evans, Chief Operating Officer of Salem Media, said, “We are thrilled to pass the torch of the oldest and most respected conservative publishing company in America to Free Speech advocate Tony Lyons and his incredibly successful Skyhorse Publishing. Salem is committed to the dissemination of conservative ideas and is excited that Skyhorse will both be a powerful steward of this important brand and an engine for its future growth.”

Tony Lyons, President and Publisher of Skyhorse Publishing, added, “We are so pleased to acquire this legendary publishing company, founded over 75 years ago, and are committed to building on the strong foundation that the Regnery staff has developed. We see a lot of synergies and opportunities for growth and will work hard to promote, market, and sell the books we have acquired and those that are pending, as well as to develop and pursue exciting new projects. Regnery will be an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing and will maintain its own identity.”

The more than 1,500 Regnery titles will be absorbed into the Skyhorse Publishing catalogue. The former Washington D.C. based publishing house was founded in 1947 by Henry Regnery and acquired an impressive list of authors over its 75 years, including former President Donald Trump, Senator Rand Paul, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Mitt Romney, Tulsi Gabbard, Eric Metaxas, former President Ronald Regan, and Ann Coulter.
