CCM Magazine was strategically purchased by Logan and Amanda Sekulow

Logan and Amanda Sekulow from Salem Media Group have taken over CCM Magazine, a prominent Christian music news outlet. New material will begin immediately on CCMmagazine.com, YouTube, and social media, but they will soon release specifics about a full brand overhaul.

With a large editorial and digital team, the new owners will be building a network of exclusive material that includes podcasts, streaming video, and much more.

“CCM has decades of incredible archives and we are diving in,” says Logan Sekulow. “We grew up on CCM and it’s time to give proper respect to the history of the genre and to those that got us here.”

The first to use the term “CCM” to refer to contemporary Christian music

Established in 1978, the renowned music magazine was the first to use the term “CCM” to refer to contemporary Christian music, which was previously just called “Jesus Music.”

Even though it encompassed rock, pop, hip-hop, punk, metal, and other musical genres, “Christian music” gained widespread recognition as a distinct genre as the contemporary Christian music scene grew into a billion-dollar industry. ​

The Company is Shifting Its Focus

Salem Media Group has a long-standing partnership with the Sekulow family, spanning over 30 years. David P. Santrella, the CEO of Salem Media Group, expressed excitement about this collaboration.

The company is shifting its focus towards audiences interested in Christian Teaching, Talk, and News Talk content. They are pleased to hand over CCM Magazine to a dedicated team that will ensure the magazine’s growth and uphold its integrity.

Amanda Sekulow Believes the Future is Very Bright for Christian Media

“We look forward to partnering with and showcasing Christian media and creators in all forms,” says Amanda Sekulow. “We believe the future is very bright for Christian media. We have seen amazing creators arrive to the scene and CCM Magazine will once again be the premier outlet to showcase how God is moving in creative ways. The new era begins now.”
