CTM Media Holdings, Inc may be a company you've never heard of, but it's a holding company that has a majority interest in IDW… a publisher you probably are familiar with. To reflect the growth of IDW as its principal line of business the company has renamed itself IDW Media Holdings and founding partner and current CEO and Publisher of IDW, Ted Adams, will take over as CEO of IDW Media Holdings.

IDW Media Holdings, Inc. will consist of IDW Publishing, CTM Media Group, a distributor of print and digital advertising; IDW Entertainment, the television-development arm of IDW Publishing; San Diego Comic Art Gallery, a new comic art gallery space launching in summer 2015; e-ttractions, a travel-based web portal; Top Shelf Productions, IDW Games, producer of tabletop board games and card games; and IDW Limited, the high-end print collectibles division of IDW Publishing.

"Ted Adams has built IDW into an entertainment giant," said Howard Jonas, the chairman of CTM Media Holdings. "IDW's growth in just its fifteen years of existence has been extraordinary and is a testament to Adams' ability to build, diversify and grow his business. He is the perfect person to serve as CEO over IDW Media Holdings and continue to grow all its interests in exponential ways."
