History and profile
CKM was established by Marquard Media in 1998.[1] It comprised a group of cultural semi-erotic monthly magazines for men, focused mainly on entertainment and factography. It included editions in Poland and Hungary. The latter was launched in 1998.[1] Both Polish and Hungarian editions were part of the Marquard Media.[1] There was also a CKM – Serbian edition launched in September 2003.[1]
Piotr Gontowski was the editor-in-chief of the Polish edition.[1]
The written tone was outspoken, provocative, at the same time finding humour and dealing with serious issues. The magazine also contained articles on lifestyle topics.[1]
In 2019, CKM was discontinued in print by its publisher, Marquard Media Polska, alongside Polish versions of Playboy, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Joy and Harper’s Bazaar. The final issue of CKM appeared in December 2019.[2]
