This Amendment No. 2 supplements and amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Trustees of Chandler Trust No. 1 and Chandler Trust No. 2 (the “Chandler Trusts”) on June 21, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 13, 2006.

ITEM 4 PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:

On September 21, 2006, the Chandler Trusts entered into (i) a Distribution Agreement among Tribune Company (“Tribune”), TMCT, LLC (“TMCT”), Candle Holdings Corporation, Fortify Holdings Corporation and the Chandler Trusts (the “TMCT Distribution Agreement”) and (ii) a Distribution Agreement among Tribune, TMCT II, LLC (“TMCT II”), Fortification Holdings Corporation, Wick Holdings Corporation, Eagle New Media Investments, LLC, Eagle Publishing Investments, LLC and the Chandler Trusts (the “TMCT II Distribution Agreement” and, together with the TMCT Distribution Agreement, the “Distribution Agreements”).

The Distribution Agreements contemplate, among other things, that within 30 days of the initial transactions contemplated therein, which were consummated on September 22, 2006, TMCT and TMCT II will each distribute all of the remaining shares of Tribune’s common stock held by TMCT and TMCT II to their respective members in accordance with such members’ percentage ownership interests in TMCT and TMCT II (the “Subsequent Distributions”). As a result of the Subsequent Distributions, the Chandler Trusts will receive, in the aggregate, an additional 11,822,206 shares of Tribune’s common stock. In addition, the Chandler Trusts have agreed that, with respect to any election of directors or other proposal submitted to the stockholders of Tribune during the twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Subsequent Distributions, the Chandler Trusts will vote, or cause to be voted, the shares of Tribune’s common stock received by the Chandler Trusts in the Subsequent Distributions in the same proportion that the capital stock of Tribune held by all of Tribune’s stockholders is voted with respect to such election or other proposal

Also on September 21, 2006, Tribune announced that its board of directors has established an independent special committee to oversee management’s exploration of alternatives for creating additional value for shareholders. The three Tribune directors designated by the Chandler Trusts voted in favor of establishing such special committee. In Tribune’s public announcement of the board action, Warren B. Williamson, Chairman of the Chandler Trusts stated, “The Chandler Trusts are pleased that we reached an agreement that serves the interests of all Tribune shareholders. We will now work collaboratively with management and the board to build value for all shareholders.”

The Chandler Trusts intend to closely monitor the process established to consider strategic alternatives and the manner in which the process is conducted to assure that the maximum value reasonably attainable is achieved for holders of Tribune common stock.

Except as set forth herein, as of the date hereof, the Chandler Trusts do not have any present plan or intention which would result in or relate to any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
