FHM is back in print in Australia, targeting men who “train harder, think bigger, and still appreciate the perfect cover girl”.
The original iteration of the magazine was published in Australia by EMAP and then ACP Magazines between 1998 and 2012, using the popular British lads mag format.
It’s now been revived in Australia by Michael Downs and Nuclear Media, which also publishes Women’s Fitness, It Girl, and Krash……
Downs said FHM and Nuclear Media are here for a good time, and advertisers and readers can expect “a brand that speaks to men, the way they want to be spoken to. Irreverent, unapologetic and pandering to nobody”.
OK…so they’ve not really closed down Maxim, they lost the license for the name, and are now FHM.
I know they had issues with the US owners wanting to pull the license for the name.

Nuclear Media acquires K-Zone and Total Girl magazines
Publisher Nuclear Media has acquired the iconic Australian children’s magazines, Total Girl and K-Zone.
The acquisition sees Nuclear Media take over the Total Girl and K-Zone publishing operations from Nextmedia — the media company that bought the titles from Pacific Magazine in 2016.
Nuclear Media will revitalise both brands’ editorial, while investing in digital offerings “and new audience-building initiatives” to futureproof the magazines’ brands.
The acquisition is not expected to impact the titles’ publishing schedules.
