Ty Pennington Gets Magazine

In an media environment where Britney Spears makes the cover of The Atlantic it is not all that far-fetched to imagine Ty Pennington getting his own magazine. The ABC ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ host and design team leader’s magazine Ty Pennington At Home hit newsstands today. The initial distribution of the Hachette Filipacchi quarterly will be 400,000. The initial test issue was published in May 2007. ”’I am very excited that the first issue was such a huge success,” Pennington said in a press release. ”The positive feedback has been incredible. I’m stoked that the magazine will be quarterly this year and that the ideas in it are inspiring people to try new things. It’s a dream come true.”
