— Monkey: Dennis’ online men’s magazine Monkey has gone live with its anticipated new website, accompanying the basic digital edition page-turner. Dennis had said last week the site would include video, but the new offering is actually entirely video-centric, offering clips of scantily-clad ladies, funny vids, entertainment and cars. The launch is aimed squarely at the Zoo/Nuts readership. The platform is powered by Kewego. This link to the site is NSFW (not safe for work).
— Rapture TV: Extreme sport and entertainment channel Rapture TV, which became an online-only broadcaster last year when it was dropped from BSkyB’s (NYSE: BSY) EPG, says it is seeking permission for a Court Of Appeal hearing over the issue, Guardian says. Rapture lost a Competition Appeal Tribunal case last month. After repeated appearances and retractions from Sky in the last few years, Rapture had protested BSkyB’s EPG fees were excessive.
