After 95 years of broadcast service to the Chicago market and all over America, Tribune Broadcasting went into the history books on September 19, 2019 after being bought out by Irving, Texas-based Nexstar Media Group. Nexstar also sold some of the former Tribune stations to different owners, including WPIX in New York City, which was sold to the E.W. Scripps Company, though Nexstar eventually entered into a local marketing agreement with Mission Broadcasting, which now owns the station's license.
So with that said, I came up with a tribute to this historic broadcasting enterprise by adding photos of some (but not all) of the stations they owned over the years as well as the many faces that have graced the Tribune airwaves during the company's existence.
I also felt would be appropriate to use in this tribute a song that was used famously by it's flagship television station, WGN-TV, for their station ID's during the late 1970's and the early 80's. That song is, you guessed it, "The Last Farewell" by Roger Whittaker.
