Somewhere in this uncomfortable birthing metaphor is the announcement that the Tribune Company is splitting into two separate companies, Tribune Publishing and Tribune Media, tomorrow. I can't remember, does this have implications for The Game/WGN-FM to acquire a new signal, or is that only if the radio properties are spun off from the local TV stations? http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/ct-tribune-spin-rosenthal-0804-biz-20140804-column.html#page=1 |

No, it's the newspaper ownership that blocks further television/radio acquisition. They're not allowed more than one newspaper, one TV station, and one radio station. That's why they had to sell WFMT long ago. So yes, this will allow Tribune Media to purchase an FM station. Let's see if anyone's selling. |
