Ca Hello Magazine

Hello! is a weekly magazine specialising in celebrity news and gossip, published in Britain. Hello! sells editions in Britain, Republic of Ireland, India, UAE, Spain, Mexico, Turkey, Russia, Thailand, Greece, Canada, and since 2007 Serbia.

History

Owned by Spanish publisher Eduardo Sánchez Junco, Hello! was first published in 1988 and is a spin-off of the Spanish magazine ¡Hola! . Between 1998 and 2004 there was also a French version, Ohla ! .

Although upmarket and away from the real-life formats of the traditional weekly and supermarket checkout ladies' magazines, media critics laughed at Hello!' s fawning interviews with minor European royals and celebrities. But the highly targeted format quickly built a readership of 2 million copies per issue.

A Mexican edition of ¡Hola! started in 2006; prior to that date, the Mexican publisher reprinted the flagship Spanish title, but repriced locally in Mexican pesos.

Competition

OK! magazine launched in 1993, and went weekly in 1996. Not long after, the first of a new raft of celebrity magazines aimed at more mass-market readership than both Hello! and OK! , hit the news-stands. Now was launched in 1997, joined by Heat in 1999 and then Closer in 2002.

Today, Hello! and rival OK! often try to out-scoop each other, by buying up exclusive rights to celebrity weddings and interviews. OK! currently outsells Hello! by nearly three-to-one.


Website

Hellomagazine.ca is the official website of the weekly celebrity news magazine Hello! Canada, and Canada’s leading celebrity news site. Started in June 2006 to complement the magazine, contains separate content to the weekly magazine, reporting celebrity news on a daily rather than weekly basis. The site is updated throughout the day, seven days a week.

Since it launched with the magazine's trademark bold colour palette it has undergone a redesign which has made it feel lighter and brighter. By January 2008 over 90,000 readers were using hellomagazine.ca.

It also features comprehensive galleries of the main fashion shows, special events such as The Oscars, Toronto International Film Festival and the Genie Awards.
