In March 2009, 944 Media announced acquisition of *Six Degrees*, a competing upscale lifestyle magazine, with editions in [Atlanta](/source/Atlanta), [Detroit](/source/Detroit), Miami and Las Vegas as well as its web portal.[3] By October of that year, 944 Media ceased publication of *Six Degrees* and launched two new editions of *944* magazine to penetrate the Atlanta and Detroit markets.[4] In April 2010 the tenth edition of the magazine was started for [Dallas](/source/Dallas).[2]

In April 2010, 944 Media, LLC. declared [Chapter 11 bankruptcy](/source/Chapter_11_bankruptcy) in [United States Bankruptcy Court](/source/United_States_Bankruptcy_Court) for the Central District of California, Los Angeles Division (Case No. 2:10-23240-AA). 944 Media, LLC. was represented by Landau Gottfried & Berger LLP.[5]
