First published in 1985 as ‘For Him Magazine’, the title changed its name to FHM and went from a quarterly to a monthly publication in 1994. Launched in 2004, ZOO joined Nuts (closed, April 2014) in the newly-created weekly men’s magazine market.
They say ‘Over time young men’s media habits have continually moved towards mobile and social and today FHM and ZOO have a combined digital audience of over 5 million.’
Publisher Gareth Cherriman commented: “I greatly appreciate Damien McSorley’s leadership and the dedication and effort from both teams. I would like to thank our advertisers and retailers who have supported the brands and I’m sure that everyone who has worked on FHM and ZOO over the years will be sorry to hear this news.”
