ACP Magazines (formerly Australian Consolidated Press), a subsidiary of the Nine Entertainment Co., is an Australian media company. It publishes the Australian Women's Weekly and the Australian edition of Woman's Day.
Consolidated Press was formed in 1936, combining ownership of The Daily Telegraph and Frank Packer's Australian Women's Weekly. It was renamed Australian Consolidated Press (ACP) in 1957, and acquired The Bulletin in 1960.
Cleo was founded in 1972, the same year The Daily Telegraph was sold to News Limited. Two years later, Frank Packer died, and his son Kerry took over the company.
Australian House & Garden, Wheels & Motor, and Belle & Mode were acquired in the 1980s; in 1988, ACP acquired Fairfax's magazines (including Woman's Day, People, Dolly, and Good Housekeeping).
In 1994, ACP merged with the Nine Network to form Publishing and Broadcasting Limited. In 1999, PBL acquired Crown Limited, and in 2002, it combined ACP and Nine into a new division, PBL Media. CVC Capital Partners acquired PBL Media in 2007.
The magazine has many tie-ins with other PBL Media companies, such as Nine Network programs (Burke's Backyard and Good Medicine).
