Buzz Media (stylized BUZZMEDIA; formerly Buzznet) is a company and blog network based in Los Angeles. It owns the world's largest community of pop culture websites (with over 40 million unique monthly visitors), including Buzznet, Idolator, and Stereogum. The company announced on March 19, 2009 that it had raised US$12.5 million in funding from venture capitalists that include companies that had already invested in the company, such as Anthem Ventures, New Enterprise Associates, Redpoint Ventures, and Sutter Hill Ventures, as well as new investor Focus Ventures.[1][2] Buzz Media was founded by Anthony Batt (CEO), Marc Brown, Kevin Woolery, and Steve Haldane under the name Buzznet. The Buzz media name was created as the company started to acquire more pop-culture and music blogs.
