1.Fashion Week Daily
The Inside (TV) Scoop
By Faran Krentcil

The Inside TV staff knew they were in trouble a month ago, when Gemstar CEO John Loughlin left his position for a new role at Hearst. Loughlin was known to be Inside TV??™s biggest supporter, but left its parent company to succeed Mark Miller as executive vice president and general manager of Hearst Magazines.

This morning at 9 am, fears were confirmed: after being called into a meeting, the staff of nearly 50 reporters and editors were told the new magazine had wrapped. An Inside TV staffer describes the mood as ???devastating,??? noting most of the employees were hired away from other magazines, and took a gamble with the new venture that celebrated all things TV. They were apparently given a ???less than stellar??? severance package for their time.

Besides Loughlin??™s departure, company sources tell The Daily that low circulation numbers also contributed to the magazine??™s demise, as did friction between editor-in-chief Steve LeGrice (best known for his executive editor years at InTouch) and Ian Birch, the British import who directed addictive tabloids Heat and Closer before landing stateside to take over TV Guide.
