Tribune Co. creditors court Michael Eisner and Jeff Shell for top jobs

August 25, 2010

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2010/08/hold.html

Former Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Michael D. Eisner is in discussions that could lead to his return to the media spotlight – as chairman of the now-bankrupt Tribune Co.

The media company’s largest creditors are having preliminary conversations with prospective candidates who could operate Tribune once it emerges from bankruptcy, according to several people with knowledge of the situation.

Eisner, who has been dabbling in the digital world as an investor since stepping down from Disney in 2005, is among the candidates under consideration to replace Chicago real estate magnate Sam Zell as chairman of the reorganized company.

Discussions about new management at Tribune are still exploratory, people close to one of the creditors cautioned. Senior creditors can’t make changes until a plan is in place allowing the company to emerge from its nearly two-year legal morass.

Tribune owns the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, KTLA-TV Channel 5 and 22 other TV stations and six newspapers.

Under one scenario being discussed by the senior creditors, Eisner, who is 68, would be joined by Jeff Shell, a former News Corp. cable executive who is now in top management at Comcast Corp., according to four people with knowledge of the talks. Shell would become chief executive of Tribune, replacing Randy Michaels.

Eisner was unavailable for comment, according to his spokeswoman. But he told Variety in a wide-ranging interview Monday that he has been accumulating Tribune debt. “You are talking to somebody who is buying debt in the Tribune Co. The salvation of the newspaper is some kind of pay arrangement [online], which will evolve into something significant,” Eisner said in the interview.

Shell, 44, a Los Angeles native who runs Comcast’s cable channels group from the company’s headquarters in Philadelphia, declined to comment. Earlier in his career, Shell worked for Disney on the strategic planning staff when Eisner ran the company.

Tribune and its creditors are still struggling to negotiate a settlement around charges that Zell’s 2007 leveraged buyout was a case of "fraudulent conveyance," meaning the transaction rendered the company insolvent from Day One. That settlement would serve as the basis for a plan of reorganization, but depending on how negotiations go, it could be months in coming or the case could easily devolve into litigation... http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2010/08/hold.html

Owner of the Baltimore Sun, Tribune plans $16 mln in bonuses on bankruptcy exit

Tribune plans $16 mln in bonuses on bankruptcy exit

Wed May 26, 2010 Total program less than originally proposed By Tom Hals

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2621196520100526

WILMINGTON, Del., May 26 (Reuters) - Media conglomerate Tribune Co plans to pay top managers $16.2 million in bonuses and incentives when it exits bankruptcy under its plan of reorganization, according to court documents.

About $10.3 million of the payments will go to the company's top 20 managers for hitting the top of the company's 2009 cash flow projections, according to documents filed on Monday in the Delaware Bankruptcy Court.

The company, which owns the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times as well as radio and television businesses, also plans to pay $4.6 million to 19 managers that head the company's operating units, based on last year's performance.
Five of those managers are also getting bonus payments under the cash flow-based program.

The company has been operating in bankruptcy since 2008 and has enjoyed a rebound with the stabilizing economy. Only two managers of operating units will not receive a bonus payment for the 2009 performance.

Tribune Names Julio Marenghi Executive Vice President/Sales and Distribution for WGN America

TRIBUNE COMPANY PRESS RELEASE
June 9, 2009

Tribune Names Julio Marenghi Executive Vice President/Sales
and Distribution for WGN America

CHICAGO, June 9, 2009 — Tribune Company today announced the
appointment of Julio Marenghi as executive vice
president/sales and distribution for WGN America. Marenghi,
an industry veteran with more than 30 years of sales
experience, will be responsible for leading all top line
sales efforts, growing distribution and managing the
national cable channel’s day-to-day operations.

“Julio is a proven leader who understands every facet of the
business,” said Ed Wilson, president of Tribune
Broadcasting. “He’s innovative and talented and the
strong relationships he’s forged across the television
advertising industry will serve WGN America well. He’s
the right guy for this position and his consistently
successful record speaks for itself.”

Prior to joining WGN America, Marenghi held significant
leadership roles at CBS Television Stations. Most
recently as president/advertising sales, he was responsible
for the strategic management, operation and top line sales
of 27 stations. His leadership of local, national and
digital sales operations and marketing efforts enabled the
station group to increase market share by 10% and improve
the revenue rank in all of CBS’ top 7 markets. He was
also responsible for building the company’s first business
development and marketing division.

“WGN America is a great brand with tremendous potential for
growth—I want to expand our reach and take this operation to
the next level,” Marenghi said. “To do that, we must
boldly define our brand and give advertisers the kind of
customized solutions that best meet their needs in a highly
competitive marketplace.”

Marenghi’s experience also includes serving as president and
general manager of CBS’ New England triopoly of stations and
numerous sales positions at television stations on the east
and west coasts.

Marenghi is a Boston native and a die-hard Red Sox fan who
says he has recently developed a strong interest in the
Chicago Cubs.

Zell admits ‘mistake’ in TribCo purchase

Zell admits ‘mistake’ in TribCo purchase

By: Lorene Yue April 15, 2009 Crain’s Chicago Business

(Crain’s) — Sam Zell admits that taking over Tribune Co. hasn’t gone according to plan and was a “mistake.”

“The definition if you bought something and it’s now worth a great deal less, you made a mistake,” he told Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. “And I’m more than willing to say I made a mistake. I was too optimistic in terms of the newspaper’s ability to preserve its position.”

The Chicago billionaire, who made his fortune from commercial real estate, was instrumental in taking the parent of the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times private through a complex deal that saddled it with $13 billion in debt. Tribune Co. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December, a move Mr. Zell said in Wednesday’s interview was necessary to “stop the bleeding and preserve a great company.”

The process that Mr. Zell used to take Tribune private caught the attention recently of the U.S. Department of Labor, which last month subpoenaed the company for documents related to its Employees Stock Ownership Plan, now the sole owner of Tribune Co.

20080701 Tribune Company Press Release: Jana Gavin named senior director/business development for Tribune Interactive

TRIBUNE COMPANY PRESS RELEASE

July 1, 2008

The Noise You Can’t Ignore Grows Louder in Chicago

(Please see my Dayhoff Media disclosures)

CHICAGO, July 1, 2008 -- Wikipedia says, “The Jacor name is retired from broadcasting,” but the roaring bark of Jacor’s mascot bulldog is being heard loud and clear in Chicago. That bark added more bite this week when Tribune Interactive President Marc Chase named Jana Gavin senior director/business development for Tribune Interactive.

Gavin is part of a growing team of Jacor veterans now working for Tribune, which includes Chase, Sean Compton (senior vice president/programming for Tribune Broadcasting), Steve Gable (chief technology officer), Russ Gilbert (vice president/digital innovation) and Special Consultant Roy Laughlin. Sam Zell owned Jacor Communications and Randy Michaels, Tribune chief operating officer, ran the media corporation from 1993 to 1999.

During that time, Michaels and his Jacor warriors dominated radio by having the best-programmed and highly-rated stations, and built Jacor into a vastly-valued and widely-respected company by focusing on its audience, employees and investors. Michaels became chief executive officer of Clear Channel Radio when it acquired Jacor in 1999; the transaction provided a healthy profit for Jacor’s shareholders.

“When I hear Chase, Compton, and now Jana Gavin referred to as ‘Clear Channel’ people, I laugh. Media veterans know they are Jacor!” said Kim Johnson, Tribune Interactive’s senior vice president/local sales (who never worked for Jacor, but wishes she did). “Jacor people are known for being fierce competitors and playing to win, so teaming up with the great staff already at Tribune gives us a significant leg up on the rest of the market. Sales people know it’s easier to sell media products with the largest and most-loyal audiences. And Jana knows how to make the cash register ring from her time at Jacor as vice president/non-traditional revenue, where she was responsible for an $85 million annual budget.”

Gavin’s appointment is effective immediately. She will be based in Columbus, Ohio.

20080402 Patuxent Publishing Company president Jim Quimby departing

Patuxent Publishing Company president Jim Quimby departing

Quimby led company's expansion into Carroll County

04/02/08 By Jennifer Broadwater

The president of Patuxent Publishing Co., which publishes the Eldersburg Eagle, will leave the company in early May.

Jim Quimby, who has served as president of Patuxent since 2000, will depart May 2 as part of a reorganization of the company, he said March 25.

Patuxent is operated by The Baltimore Sun Co., which, along with Patuxent, is owned by Tribune Co., a Chicago-based company owned by Sam Zell.

(Disclosure: I write for the Westminster Eagle and the Eldersburg Eagle, also owned by “Tribune”. Tribune also owns the Baltimore Sun – and as a matter of fact, I also write for the Sunday Carroll Eagle which is distributed in the Sunday edition of the Baltimore Sun – see: 20071021 Baltimore Sun: “To our readers”)

Sun publisher and CEO Timothy Ryan announced Quimby's departure in a statement. Ryan did not return telephone calls seeking comment on Quimby's departure.

Beginning April 9, Trish Carroll will take over as senior vice president of the Baltimore Sun Media Group's "targeted print" publications, which include those produced by Patuxent and its sister company, Homestead Publishing, in Harford County, and b, a free daily tabloid The Sun intends to launch in mid-April.

Headquartered in Columbia, Patuxent publishes 18 newspapers in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., metro areas, and several magazines and local telephone directories. Its 275 employees work in offices in Westminster, Columbia, Ellicott City, Laurel and Towson.

Carroll worked for The Sun for 16 years, in a variety of roles before taking a job directing operations and technology at The Olympian, a McClatchy Co.-owned newspaper in the state of Washington.

'A true professional'

Quimby will leave the company after 37 years in the publishing business, including nearly eight years at the helm of Patuxent.

Quimby, 55, of Harford County, described his tenure at Patuxent as a "phenomenal" experience. He said he is unsure of his next step.

"My first words to her were, 'Congratulations, you just got the best job in the whole world,' " Quimby said he told Carroll. "It's a phenomenal opportunity to work at a place like the community newspapers."

His career began in 1970, when he landed a job selling advertising for Harford County-based Susquehanna Publishing, which was purchased by The Baltimore Sun Co. in 1989.

He later worked in operations, press and packaging, circulation and distribution. He helped merge two competing newspapers in Harford County to form Homestead Publishing Co., for which he served as general manager.

In September 2000, he was named president of the Baltimore Sun Community Newspaper Group, which includes Homestead and Patuxent.

During his tenure as president, the company expanded into Carroll County with its purchase of The Eldersburg Eagle from founder David Greenwalt and the creation of The Westminster Eagle. It launched The Sunday Carroll Eagle in 2007.

Patuxent purchased Chesapeake Home magazine in 2005 and the Ellicott City-based The View newspapers in 2007.
