Tribune has had programming contracts with these stations for some time now and Wendy (Logsdon) has been acting as programming consultant. However, this deal will now officially bring them under the Tribune Broadcasting umbrella.

As for the Yule Log, it has been broadcast in all of these markets for some time now (via Antenna TV) except for two: Fort Collins, CO. and Salt Lake City, UT. However, even after the acquisition, there is no guarantee that the Yule Log will be broadcast in these two markets unless a station in those areas picks the Antenna TV network up -- and since Antenna TV is available to non-Tribune owned stations, it doesn't have to necessarily be KFCT or KSTU.
