Name sold for $1.2 million — LA.com domain

Name sold for $1.2 million — LA.com domain

Publisher of the L.A. Times paid a lot of cash for LA.com.

In March, I wrote regarding how Tribune Publishing Firm (NYSE:TPUB), publisher of the L.A. Times, purchased the valuable domain name LA.com.

At the time, I wrote “I imagine this was a solid seven-figure sale.”

We now know just how solid of a seven-figure deal it was.

In its most recently quarterly filing with the SEC, Tribune Firm revealed that it paid $1.2 million for the domain name.

This seems like a fair price for the “name” of the Unites States’ second largest city.

A coming soon page at LA.com hints that the site will offer @la.com email addresses.
