Sinclair Broadcast Group<\/p><\/div>\n

On-air employees of WGN-Channel 9<\/a> met with union leadership Thursday to consider ways to deal with Sinclair Broadcast Group, the company poised to acquire \u201cChicago\u2019s Very Own\u201d and the other Tribune Media stations.

Thursday\u2019s comment of the day:<\/a> Doug M. Cummings:<\/strong> An Audience Engagement Studio [at the Chicago Tribune] sounds great. Fancy and very impressive yet . . . friendly.
