If the FCC approves the transfer of the Tribune Company’s broadcast licenses to its new owners, the Tribune Co. will emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with three new owners that are far different from the previous owners.  Two investment firms and a bank will be the new owners of the Chicago-based company that owns 8 newspapers, 23 television stations and numerous other media outlets.
