Southcoast247.com launched on October 4, 2004 to "fill in the gap for a comprehensive Arts & Entertainment site to serve the 18- to 34-year-old demographic of the SouthCoast region of Massachusetts."[1] Southcoast247.com covers a wide spectrum of entertainment, both locally and nationally, including music, movies, technology, arts, sports, and fashion. In July 2009, its staff was liquidated. Today, the South Coast Media Group largely uses the brand to recycle mainstream media content.
