The Radio Times, Britain’s best-known television listings magazine, will be sold this week to one of Germany’s biggest media groups in a £260m deal. Sky News has learnt that Hubert Burda, which publishes the YourHome and Wedding lifestyle magazines, is putting the finishing touches to a takeover of Immediate Media, which has been owned by Exponent Private Equity since 2011. In addition to the Radio Times, Immediate publishes a number of BBC-branded magazine titles such as Top Gear, Top of the Pops and CBeebies.
