Tribune Company is buying Cincinnati-based Local TV Holdings—and its 19 television stations in key markets—for $2.73 billion in cash, the companies said in a statement this morning. Coupled with Tribune’s 42 stations across the country, the transaction makes Tribune the largest U.S. commercial TV station operator.
Tribune’s acquisition of Local TV is a key strategic step, the companies said, providing Tribune with significant scale "to maximize national and local advertising opportunities and take advantage of a larger footprint, across which it will distribute its video and digital content, especially that created by the recently launched Tribune Studios and Tribune Digital Ventures, as well as its best-in-class journalism."
