Tribune isn't going away any time soon

[RedIvyCub]

So it seems that Zell wants to own an interest in the Cubs after he sells the team. Guess Tribune still needs a place to entertain clients for free. Not sure as I haven't heard anything, but has Zell sold his interest in the Sox so this can happen? Zell has just given Selig the leverage he needs for the Canning group to purchase the team...which I am okay with Canning owning the club.

I'm not 100% sure of the rules. Maybe someone can have a minority stake in more than one team as long as he isn't majority owner for either team.

Well, he can't. I do know the rules and he is not allowed to have an ownership interest in more than one club.

As long as the new owner spends like a big-market team that the Cubs are and doesn't screw up Wrigley Field, I don't care who it is.

Are there any other businesses under the Trib umbrella besides the Cubs that anyone cares about anymore?

[RedIvyCub]

Only if they work for those entities I suppose do they care. Maybe sports fans care about WGN TV and radio.
