User blog:Cbcarter34/Tribune shutting down some affiliates as company is shifting focus

On Jan. 1, 2018, Tribune Broadcasting would be looking different after the company announced that on Dec. 31, 2017, some stations will sign off for good. "We looked over the landscape of Tribune and our affiliates and we decided that now is the approriate time for a change. We asked ourselves about these affiliates that we're getting ready to shut down, and we figured that the best thing to do other than draining money trying to fix these stations, that the best thing to do is shut them down," President of Tribune Broadcasting Larry Wert announced.

The stations that are going to shut down on Dec. 31, 2017 are: "If anyone wants to buy any of these stations, they're more than welcome to do so, but if theses don't get sold by Dec. 31, 2017, they're going off the air, and that is final," Wert said.
