Varietyreports that Crain Communications is cutting staff at TV Week. The TV programming newspaper is also going to end its print edition and go online-only.
Owner Crain Communications made the announcement on Tuesday, ending months of speculation over the fate of the pub. TV Week will continue as an online-only site, but with a dramatically reduced staff.
TV Week's NewsPro supplement, however, will continue as a stand-alone print publication, distributing issues monthly beginning in August.
Among those departing are editor Greg Baumann, who told Variety that he will assist in the transition through June 1, when TV Week publishes its final print edition. After that, Baumann said he planned to consult and freelance in journalism.
