Ownership and status
''EE Times'' was launched in 1972 by Gerard G. Leeds of
CMP Publications Inc. In 1999, the Leeds family sold CMP to
United Business Media for $900 million. After 2000, ''EE Times'' moved more into web publishing. The shift in advertising from print to online began to accelerate in 2007, and the periodical shed staff to adjust to the downturn in revenue.
In July 2013, the digital edition migrated to UBM TechWeb's DeusM community platform.
On June 3, 2016, UBM announced that ''EE Times'', along with the rest of its electronics media portfolio (
EDN, Embedded.com, TechOnline, and
Datasheets.com), was being sold to AspenCore Media, a company owned by
Arrow Electronics, for $23.5 million.
"Exclusive: Arrow buys EE Times, EDN, TechOnline and lots more from UBM"
/ref> The acquisition was completed on August 1, 2016.
