Bauer Media Group are a very big company who produce a collection of Britain's most well known and loved magazines, radio channels and TV channels. This company focus a lot on music with magazines such as Q and Kerrang. Bauer also have their own music channel called 'Box Television' that shows the best and newest music around at the time.

For my magazine I will use Bauer Magazine as my producer, as I think that there is a gap in their genres for an indie magazine. My magazine will showcase new talent coming up and some of the best indie and alternative acts out there now.
