Sport Newspapers was the English publishing firm responsible for The Daily Sport, Sunday Sport and a number of mid-shelf and top shelf magazine titles such as Adult Sport, Sport Babes, Sport Reader's Wives and Ladsmag. It was founded in 1986 by David Sullivan to launch the Sunday Sport newspaper. The company offices were in Manchester, England.[1][2]

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries to Sport Newspapers include Flip Media which was set up by Michael Bancroft, a former director of SMD Publishing to publish Front magazine and DVD World.[3]

Administration

On Friday 1 April 2011 the holding company for the firm, Sport Media Group Plc, announced that it had ceased trading, and the company was broken up by administrators.

Entrepreneur Grant Miller acquired the rights to the Daily Sport and relaunched it online through a new company Daily Sport Limited.[5][2]
