Prime Media Group company history timeline

1989

Investors had pumped $461 million into the company since July 1989.

1991

By industry estimates circulation was off as much as half since its 1991 acquisition.

1994

K-III's biggest acquisition of 1994, however, was the purchase of Channel One Communications Corp. from Whittle Communications L.P. for about $250 million.

1995

In 1995 K-III's net sales rose to $1.05 billion, but it lost $75.4 million despite an income-tax credit of $59.6 million--chiefly because of interest expenses that came to $105.4 million on its debt of $1.1 billion.

1997

KKR owned 83 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock in March 1997.
