IT’S COMING….

By Rafa Carvajal

“I got it!” Those were my overjoyed words when I called Jesse Spencer, my associate publisher at Wire Magazine, to share the great news that I had won the auction to purchase a new Internet address for Wire Magazine. I was ecstatic! Now we have a new and permanent home on the World Wide Web for Wire Magazine and Wire Media Group to showcase our upcoming new portal for the gay community. 

I purchased Wire Magazine three years ago with a dream to build a media group. Wire Media Group LLC was born to acquire the assets of Wire Magazine – “The Wire,” as many people still refer to the longest running weekly publication in South Beach and the best lifestyle publication for the gay community in South Florida.

I have been able to achieve many milestones along this three-year journey with the help of my team, such as the recent publication of Wire Magazine with a glossy cover for special issues, getting over 175,000 hits on one of my YouTube videos on our Wire Media Group channel, the rapid growth of our Facebook and Twitter, the expansion of our distribution in both Miami and Fort Lauderdale, having so many famous celebrities grant Wire interviews for cover stories, etc. etc. For three years I have been trying to find the best possible Internet address for our brand to house a new Internet portal for the gay community. Well my friends, patience is a virtue and it is sometimes well rewarded.

Since Wire Magazine is a weekly publication, I created our www.wireweekly.com Internet address as the best possible available alternative at the time to bring you our magazine, photos, and content online – the URL our readers currently see in our logo and on the cover of the magazine. However, I always wanted a better URL that was more closely aligned with our Wire Magazine brand name.

This week I am very proud to formally announce that www.wiremag.com will become our new Internet home under a powerful, short, easy to remember URL for Wire Magazine and Wire Media Group. Please stay tuned over the next few weeks as we remind everyone thatwww.wiremag.com is coming! This summer we will launch a new portal for the gay community to bring you tons of great content, photos, videos, special deals, events information, products and services, and much more.

We are developing our new www.wiremag.com website with you, our readers, in mind. It will be a living, breathing community that will grow and be enhanced over the coming months, just as we have grown and improved Wire Magazine in print by adding new writers and ample new content since the beginning of the year.

In closing, I want to thank every one of you for your continued support. I also want to encourage you to visit us often when we unveil the newwww.wiremag.com.
