Meredith Corp. will air a new branded show from People
across stations in its 12 local markets this fall, the company announced today.
Rob Silverstein, an Emmy-award-winning producer, has been tapped as executive producer/showrunner of the
half-hour series.
Silverstein spent two decades leading "Access Hollywood," where he created and launched "Access Live" and produced several Emmy and Golden Globe red-carpet specials, noted
Gary Brown, senior vice president of content for the Meredith Local Media Group.
Silverstein also spent time as a broadcast producer for Fox News’ “Front Page,” as a producer
for CBS Sports and an executive sports producer for KMOX Radio in St. Louis.
People’s new show will combine popular celebrity news with inspirational human-interest stories,
interviews, feature stories, beauty and style and true crime.

Dan Wakeford, People’s editor in chief, stated:
“This new syndicated show is an exciting addition to how the People brand reaches consumers on all platforms.”
The new daily show deepens People’s television
presence on local Meredith markets, which includes PeopleTV’s “People Now Weekend.”
In November 2019, Meredith Corp announced it would launch a Southern Living TV spinoff across its local markets called “The Southern Living Show.”
