WAVE OF FIRINGS HITS TV GUIDE
Just one day after Macrovision's takeover of TV Guide was completed, reports
began appearing Wednesday indicating that the new publishers will begin making massive
layoffs at what was once America's most popular publication. Jeff Bercovici of Cond&e
acute; Nast's Portfolio magazine said on its website today (Thursday) that
TV Guide's editor-in-chief, Ian Birch, is likely to be included among those
let go. He quoted a source as saying, "They're losing a phenomenal amount of money."
L.A. Weekly columnist Nikki Finke wrote on her Dateline Hollywood Today blog that
the magazine is being "gutted," with managing editors Lois Draegin and Steve Sonksy
also among those being pink-slipped.
