==History==
The company was founded in July of 2007 by Connor Wilkins and Alex Claudio. The site was originally intended to be a massive, multimedia distribution site, including ways to post user submitted songs, videos, podcasts, and art, all on one site. This changed when the two decided against it, and the new Masked Media was formed. The company originally produced several episodes of a podcast called Tech Unplugged (formerly X360 Unplugged), which was all AbOUT gaming and tech. Never having a real mean to release the content, the show was canceled in June of 2007, though old episodes will be released with the new version of the site. The company now releases several podcasts, including BSI: Winnipeg, Ways of the Web, and Bang Bang Your Dead. On December 1st, 2007, Masked Media created the Board of Directors to help even out control of the company.
Web Site
Though episodes of various shows have been released on other sites, the official Masked Media website will be launching in January of 2008. The current beta version of the site is called 'Freeman'.
