CurtCo Media has sold Worth magazine to Boca Raton, Florida-based Sandow Media. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

New York City-based Worth magazine employees are expected to remain with the publication under the new ownership, the company said in a statement. Alison Parks will serve as general manager and chief marketing officer. Andy Pedersen will continue to serve as associate publisher.

Last week, as reported by the New York Post, a potential deal in which Elevation Partners would acquire a stake in CurtCo fell through. CurtCo also is selling its Home Entertainment magazine, and its accompanying Web site and database, to the newly formed Mendelsohn Media LLC, a technology and lifestyle publisher.

Sandow Media, which was founded in 2002, publishes titles such as NewBeauty and Luxe.

When you look under the hood and take a hard look at the Curtco Robb circ numbers you see a little fish in a big pond. A lot of hype and some very un-compelling editorial content. Not surprising another deal has fallen through.

Can anybody tell me how much they sold for?
