Tribune at first put off potential buyers of individual assets, saying it would accept offers only for the company as a whole. But those offers were said to be disappointingly low. ||
New York Times: "Still, sales of individual assets by Tribune is not a foregone conclusion. ...Another option for Tribune would be to take itself private, which could create substantial debt. That could involve selling off some of the smaller newspapers and perhaps the television group as a whole to finance the deal."
