Bright Mountain Acquisition Corporation Acquires JQPublicBlog.com
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) February 27, 2015 -- The announcement was made by W. Kip Speyer, Chairman of the Board of Bright Mountain Acquisition Corporation. The acquisition was made through a combination of stock and cash.
“Bright Mountain is pleased to report our second acquisition of 2015 in the military sector,” said Speyer. “We are quite happy about adding http://www.JQPublicBlog.com to our growing list of web sites that serve members of the military and public safety while continuing our acquisition pace of adding a new website approximately every 6 to 8 weeks.
JQPublicBlog.com brings a special focus to our growing list of web sites, which is targeted to Air Force issues and veterans and families of those who are serving. The site is known for its exceptionally high quality content and strong traffic growth rate and received nearly 1 million visits in 2014.
“The Air Force audience is frequently overlooked and taken for granted,” said Speyer. “These Airmen make a huge sacrifice, going months at a time without seeing their families due to lengthy deployments and frequently dangerous missions. The J Q Public online publication provides important information to those who serve the nation. We are gratified to have it in our growing family of publications.”
Bright Mountain Acquisition Corporation currently owns 17 sites, which had more than 5 million visitors during the last quarter of 2014.
http://www.JQPublicBlog.com was founded by Air Force Lt. Colonel (retired) Tony Carr. He will continue writing for the publication for the next five years. “I’m incredibly honored to join Bright Mountain to continue and expand the J Q Public mission of advocacy, reporting, and intelligent commentary on issues confronting Airmen and our all-volunteer military”, said Lt. Colonel Carr.
