Break.com Buying Business News Blog Wall Street Fighter

By Rafat Ali - Mon 03 Mar 2008 10:57 PM PST

Break Media, the LA based online entertainment company which owns video sites Break.com and an ad network, is acq-hiring a business media blog called WallStreetFighter, we have learned. The announcement may come later this week.

This acquisition, though seemingly outlying for the company that has focused on its young male demographic and feeding entertainment to them, is supposed to appeal to that demographic’s financial news cravings through a humorous take on it. According to the Blogger profile of WSF’s author, the writer is a 38-year old businessman living in Urbana, Illinois.

Break recently announced forming an online ad network called Break Media, and launched three new sites--Cage Potato, Chickipedia, Holy Taco-- all focused on its audience.
