Tribune ends distribution unit

Tribune Entertainment has shut down its distribution unit, shuttering the remains of what once was a major player in the syndicated TV field, but which of late has handled only a few shows. In all, the final shutdown required only three pink slips to employees in Chicago. Tribune Entertainment still has its larger operation for advertising sales, including the off-network advertising rights to “South Park” and “American Idol.”
