L.A. investors bid on Tribune Co. (LA Times, KTLA, Chicago Cubs)

LA Times ^ | 11/8/06 | James Rainey

[BurbankKarl]

Billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad and prominent investor Ron Burkle submitted a bid today to buy Tribune Co. of Chicago, which owns the Los Angeles Times, KTLA Channel 5 and the Chicago Cubs.

Details about the offer and the price that the duo would be willing to pay remained unclear, but the Los Angeles-based businessmen have said for months that they wanted a local group to take control of The Times ADVERTISEMENT"Affiliates of the Broad Investment Company and [Burkle's] Yucaipa Companies have submitted a competitive bid for acquisition of the entire Tribune company," a source familiar with the offer said.

Broad declined to comment, and Burkle could not be reached.

The offer comes the day after it was revealed that Times Editor Dean Baquet would leave his post, culminating a long-standing dispute between the editor and the paper's Chicago parent over proposed staff reductions. A month earlier, Times Publisher Jeffrey M. Johnson was forced from his job, also largely related to his defiance of editorial staff cuts proposed by Chicago.

David Geffen, the entertainment mogul who is also based in Los Angeles, has also expressed interest in acquiring the Los Angeles Times. He has talked about buying the paper himself, rather than as part of a group.

"Los Angeles Times, KTLA Channel 5 and the Chicago Cubs."

Otherwise known as the Loveable Losers.

Ron Burkle, friend of Bill Clinton? Just what we need, another house newspaper for the Clinton gang.

I'd hate to see what the L.A. Times would turn into with a guy like Burkle owning it. You think it's bad now...

Ping to State contributions for Eli Broad and Ron Burkle.

These two have much to gain from the bonds that just passed. I'm sure they would not like their "business" covered in the LA Times.

By the way, did you notice the other players in there? Apollo Partners? These are some of the Executive Life players that veiled the Frenchies purchase of the company. Small world.

[ElkGroveDan]

Are you suggesting that Broad could lead the LA Times toward a liberal Democrat bias in its reporting??? Perish the thought!

No.

But I am suggesting that we will never see any type of honest investigative reporting when it comes to some of the more sleazy deals in Los Angeles. You think the LA Times is bad now... I suggest it will be much, much worse and be a tool of a few powerbrokers.
