EE Times is currently owned by AspenCore, a division of Arrow Electronics[https://www.eetimes.com/arrow-from-top-distributor-to-enabler-of-all-things-high-tech/# "Arrow: From Top Distributor to Enabler of All Things High-Tech"] since August 2016.
Since its acquisition by AspenCore, EE Times has seen major editorial and publishing technology investment and a renewed emphasis on investigative coverage. New features include The Dispatch, which profiles frontline engineers and unpacks real-life design problems and their solutions in technical yet conversational reporting.
Ownership and status
EE Times was launched in 1972 by Gerard G. Leeds of CMP Publications Inc.{{cite web|title=CMP Media Inc. History|url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/cmp-media-inc-history/|publisher=Funding Universe|access-date=December 6, 2015}} 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.Charlotte Woodward, "UBM Tech advances DeusM strategy," [http://www.btobonline.com/article/20130910/MEDIABUSINESS1501/309099991/ubm-tech-advances-deusm-strategy BtoB Online Media Business] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130913010614/http://www.btobonline.com/article/20130910/MEDIABUSINESS1501/309099991/ubm-tech-advances-deusm-strategy |date=2013-09-13 }}, September 10, 2013
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.{{cite news |url=http://www.crn.com/news/channel-programs/300080926/arrow-to-buy-ubms-technical-electronics-media-portfolio-for-23-5m.htm |title=Arrow To Buy UBM's Technical, Electronics Media Portfolio For $23.5M |first=Michael |last=Novinson |date=June 3, 2016 |work=CRN |access-date=January 17, 2018}}[https://www.publitek.com/news/arrow-buys-ee-times-edn-lots-ubm/ "Exclusive: Arrow buys EE Times, EDN, TechOnline and lots more from UBM"] The acquisition was completed on August 1, 2016.
