Spelling TV lays off most staffers
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Most of the staff of Spelling Television, home of the WB Network dramas "7th Heaven" and "Charmed," have been let go, sources said.
The layoffs affect about 25 people. Chairman and CEO Aaron Spelling, vice chairman E. Duke Vincent and president Jonathan Levin will continue with the company, which will become a pod within its Paramount Network TV parent.
"7th Heaven" will end its 10-year run in May, because it was getting too expensive to produce. "Charmed" is in its eighth season.
A Paramount TV spokeswoman declined comment Thursday.
