In the studied care of Zimmer and Liguori, Tribune has had a stellar year. With her ability to handle tough negotiations yet retain the respect of those on the other side of the table, Zimmer oversaw not only the company’s retrans agreements with numerous distributors but also, with Liguori, oversaw the conversion of WGN America from a superstation to a basic cable network. The latter finished roughly 14 months ahead of schedule. Liguori also increased the amount of local news programming across Tribune Media’s 42 stations to better serve their respective communities, and added a major new Big 3 affiliate to the Tribune Media family in Indianapolis.
