While Time magazine is still based in the New York offices of Meredith in lower Manhattan, a reliable source tells Media Ink that staffers at the one-time flagship of the old Time Inc. empire should not get too comfortable.

The new owners plan to move the magazine and digital spinoffs out of there by mid-2019, according to someone close to the situation.

Internet billionaire Marc Benioff and wife Lynne purchased the magazine assets from Meredith for $190 million in a deal that closed last week. Marc Benioff is the founder of Salesforce.com.

The name of the company he formed to make the Time acquisition does not appear to have much staying power as the permanent new moniker of the corporation. It was dubbed: You.com Global LLC.

But don’t look for Time magazine to revive the old parent company’s name — Time Inc. — since Meredith, which acquired Time Inc. in a $2.8 billion deal in January, retains it. The Des Moines-based media company ceased using the name the second the deal closed.
