Tiger Beat was started in 1965 by Charles Laufer, and brought stars such as Donny Osmond to national attention.
Laufer started several more teen magazines with the same formula.
Scott Laufer, along with three sisters, then founded Bop.
At the same time, Primedia acquired Sterling-Macfadden's teen magazines.
When Primedia wished to exit the teen market in 2003, Scott Laufer Media bought back Tiger Beat and Bop.
