The Tribune Co. will combine its Florida Sun-Sentinel newspaper operations with those of WFSL – the CW affiliate in the Miami market. Right now, WFSL does not produce its own news – but instead airs a 30 minute nightly newscast produced by WTVJ. The story in the Sun-Sentinel today has one of those “sounds great” passages:
The broadcast collaboration also is designed to broaden the Sun-Sentinel’s audience, particularly for younger viewers who favor CW programming such as One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl.
The combo will have a single GM/publisher – and all operations will be based in the same building. Tribune has cross-ownership in other markets of course – notably KTLA & The Los Angeles Times – and WGN and The Chicago Tribune.
