President, Distribution, Tribune Media

Zimmer has her hands full managing distribution for the company’s broadcast and television content portfolio for the cable, satellite and telco industries as well as non-traditional digital media outlets.

In just over one year, she converted Tribune’s WGN America from a “superstation” into cable network to 100 percent of the country.
