Meredith Corp. is continuing its overhaul of Time Inc.’s assets as it fully absorbs the acquisition of the iconic publisher, announcing what it calls a “new look, name and direction” of its in-house TV production company.
The shop, formerly Time Inc. Productions, will now be called Four M Studios. It will be able to draw on content emanating from Meredith titles, including key Time brands such as People and Entertainment Weekly, while also developing long-form projects independent of the magazine portfolio.
