The b5media blog network has just announced its purchase of Level9 Media Inc., which operates its own blog network that includes the popular Starked group.

According to the press release issued by b5media, the acquisition is “the largest one made to date” by the network, which is the third-largest blog network, attracting more than three million unique visitors per month. This development will further cement b5media’s huge presence in the blogosphere.

From the said article, Level9’s blogs include:

Starked (NYC, San Francisco, LA and Washington, D.C.), which deliver industry news and gossip specific to each city. LA is focused on Hollywood and the film/television industry; NYC on media and publishing; and San Francisco on technology and money.

Dejuiced: Sports. All the sports news, gossip, players’ dirty laundry, events, and chat you can handle from serious sports fanatics.

Sirened: Level9’s answer to the never ending and ongoing life in political satire. Additionally, the site will also cover news on “corporate propaganda” because we really don’t think Enron was the first or the last of its kind.

Citizen Circus: A few familiar features and a few new ones, it’s social news for the mainstream audience who just want to find the most interesting stories and share their own.
