Kinda late in the game, but significant for the company going through so much turmoil: Gemstar-TV Guide has formed a new “Product Development and Technology” group, which will look at and develop company products for new platforms.
(As a related tangent, wasn’t Gemstar always supposed to be the new media unit of the combined company? Too much baggage there, I suppose.)
Heading the unit will be Steve Shannon, who has been named exec VP & GM, product development and Michael Starkenburg, who has been named senior VP, Technology. Shannon was one of the founders of Akimbo (and VP of marketing), and co-founder of Replay TV back in the day.
