The old guard at Tribune continues to exit. The latest casualty is Bill Shaw, who since 2002, has served as the vp and general manager of the recently rebranded WGN. According to a report in the company’s own Chicago Tribune, Shaw will leave the company Aug. 1.

A replacement has not yet been named.

WGN was rebranded WGN America in late May, complete with a twist on an old radio slogan, “TV You Can’t Ignore,” and an updated logo from cable’s The Movie Channel.
