Penske Media Corp. has sold TVLine to Indianapolis-based Static Media for an undisclosed price.
The outlet launched in 2011 is a hub for all things television — news, interviews, spoilers, clips, recaps and reviews. The publication’s editor-in-chief Kimberly Roots is remaining in place along with most staff. Co-editor Matt Mitovich will step down.
TVLine was founded by writer and columnist Michael Ausiello, formerly of TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly.
Digital publisher Static Media’s circa 30 brands spanning food, entertainment, lifestyle, auto and health include Jalopnik, Chowhound, The Takeout, Looper and Glam. Established in 2012, Static has over 200 employees and serves an audience of over 220 million monthly visits, according to its website. Growth accelerated after a 2023 investment from Montreal-based private equity firm Novacap.
PMC is Deadline’s parent company.
