Not a lot, mind you; nothing substantial about Allen & Co. but this piece reminded me. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120250555624154691.html But Tony is right, Allen & Co. is super well known among people who follow the media investment banking space. Its not at all suprising to see a writeup like this. In fact, the most surprising thing to me is how overdue it seems. But as things evolve, Allen is really the most natural firm to enter this space, hands down. The Fortune piece is/was great. Read it a few months ago, since I don't subscribe to Fortune. I think another pub had referenced it. I first looked for an Allen & Co. web site back around 2002, and this company really does not want publicity.
