Jack Kliger Named Acting CEO of TV Guide
Publishing vet Jack Kliger is returning to the industry as acting CEO of troubled TV Guide, filling the role vacated in May by Scott Crystal, who accused the magazine’s private-equity bosses of raiding the title and hastening its downfall.
Kliger was president and CEO of Elle and Car & Driver publisher Hachette Filipacchi Media until September 2008, when he was replaced by Hachette parent Lagardère Active exec Alain Lemarchand.
In addition to serving as acting CEO of TV Guide, Kliger also will be senior advisor to TV Guide’s private equity owner, Los Angeles-based OpenGate Capital.
