REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Participants and Administrator
of the Tribune Company Savings Incentive Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Tribune Company Savings Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TRIBUNE COMPANY SAVINGS INCENTIVE PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following brief description of the Tribune Company Savings Incentive Plan (the “Plan” or “SIP” ) is provided for general information purposes. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

General

The Plan was established effective April 1, 1985, by Tribune Company (the “Company”). The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers eligible salaried and hourly employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries. Separate benefit accounts are maintained for each participant.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, distributions will be made in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.

Employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries are generally eligible to participate if they are 21 years of age, except for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements which do not provide for their participation in the Plan.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 401(a)(28), participants in the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) who are at least age 50, and have 10 or more years of ESOP participation are currently eligible to transfer a portion of their ESOP account balances to the Plan.

Plan administration

The Plan is administered by the Tribune Company Employee Benefits Committee (the “Committee”), which is appointed by the board of directors of the Company. The Plan’s trustee, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“Vanguard” or the “Trustee”), is responsible for the custody and management of the Plan’s assets.

Contributions

Participants may elect to make before-tax (“salary reduction”) contributions of 1% to 25% of their compensation (as defined in the Plan) subject to Plan and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers seven investment alternatives (six mutual funds and the Tribune Company Stock Fund). After the first full year of service, the Company makes a contribution to the Plan in an amount equal to 25% of the first 4% of a participant’s before-tax contributions for that period. The Company contribution is allocated according to the participants’ investment elections.

7

Participants may elect to have all or a percentage (in 1% increments) of their contributions and their share of the Company’s contributions invested in or transferred among one or more of the investment funds. Participants may elect that up to 100% of their contributions and up to 100% of their share of the Company’s matching contributions be invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund. The Trustee’s purchases of Tribune Company common stock are made in the open market. Participants may change their investment options effective with the next pay period. Participants may make interfund transfers on a daily basis.

Participant rollovers represent transfers made to the Plan from another qualified plan or from the Plan to an individual retirement account or another qualified plan.

Participants’ accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant elections or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting

Participants are, at all times, 100% vested in their accounts including the Company’s contribution.

Payment of benefits

Participants who are totally and permanently disabled may elect to withdraw their account balances through written notice to the Committee at any time. Also, participants who have attained age 59 ½ may elect to withdraw their balances by written notice to the Committee, but upon doing so will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Participants may make withdrawals of any part or all of the balance in their salary reduction contribution accounts, prior to termination, in order for the participant to meet an immediate and significant financial need for which a withdrawal would be permitted by IRS regulations. A participant may make only one hardship withdrawal during any Plan year. Participants who make hardship withdrawals will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Distributions of account balances are generally made to participants in a single sum payment. Participants whose employment terminates due to retirement, disability or death may elect to receive their account balances in substantially equal installments over a fixed period, in lieu of a single sum distribution. Distributions are made in cash, except that participants may elect to receive the portion invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund in whole shares of Tribune Company common stock.

8

Participant loans

The Plan permits participants to borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Loans fund. Loan terms range from one to five years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account. The interest rate for a loan is the prime rate on the last business day of the prior month and is fixed for the life of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Plan termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment valuation and income recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Publicly traded funds are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. The Tribune Company Stock Fund is valued at the unit closing price as determined by the Trustee on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans are valued at amounts originally borrowed by participants, less amounts subsequently repaid.

Net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of investments includes both realized gains and losses on investments sold and unrealized gains and losses on investments held at the end of the year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Payment of benefits

Distributions are recorded when paid. Benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31 but not yet distributed as of that date are shown as a liability on the Form 5500, filed with the Department of Labor.

9

Administrative fees

Administrative fees of $628,057 for the year ended December 31, 2002 were paid by the Plan.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS

The following presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets:

and 2,402,288 units, respectively	–	65,486,381

During 2002, the Plan’s investments (including both realized gains and losses on investments sold and unrealized gains and losses on investments held at the end of the year) depreciated in value by $25,295,606 as follows:

Mutual funds	$(50,028,537	)
Tribune Company Stock Fund	24,732,931
Net depreciation in fair value of investments	$(25,295,606	)

NOTE 4 – NET TRANSFER OF ASSETS / PLAN MERGER

Included in the net transfer of assets are $2,778,438 related to the merger of the Triad Capital Management, Inc. and Affiliates 401(k) Retirement Plan, and $716,094 related to the merger of the JDTV, Inc. 401(k) Plan. Both mergers were effective July 1, 2002. The assets of the Triad Capital Management, Inc. and Affiliates 401(k) Retirement Plan and the JDTV, Inc. 401(k) Plan were transferred to and became assets of the SIP and will be held, invested and administered by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the SIP plan document. In addition, participants transferred assets of $9,327,055 from their ESOP account balances into the Plan during 2002.

10

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAX STATUS

The IRS has determined and informed the Company by letter dated August 22, 2002, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Vanguard. Vanguard is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

NOTE 7 – RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE FORM 5500

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements at December 31, 2002 and 2001 to Form 5500:

	December 31,
	2002		2001
Net assets available for benefits per
the financial statements	$ 449,171,520		$ 469,870,738
Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants	(163,487	)	(73,951	)
Net assets available for benefits per the Form 5500	$ 449,008,033		$ 469,796,787

The following is a reconciliation of benefits paid to participants per the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, to Form 5500:

Benefits paid to participants per
the financial statements	$48,258,861
Add: Amounts allocated to withdrawing
participants at December 31, 2002	163,487
Less: Amounts allocated to withdrawing
participants at December 31, 2001	(73,951	)
Benefits paid to participants per the Form 5500	$48,348,397

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31, 2002, but not yet paid as of that date.

11

NOTE 8 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan provides for various investment options in several investment securities and instruments. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risks associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks and values in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

To the Participants and Administrator
of the KTLA Inc. Hourly Employees' Retirement Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the KTLA Inc. Hourly Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Participants may elect to have all or a percentage (in 1% increments) of their contributions and their share of the Company’s contributions invested in or transferred among one or more of the investment funds. Participants may elect that up to 100% of their contributions and up to 100% of their share of the Company’s matching contributions be invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund. The Trustee’s purchases of Tribune Company common stock are made in the open market. Participants may change their investment options effective with the next pay period.

Participants’ accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant elections or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting

Participants are, at all times, 100% vested in their accounts including the Company contributions.

Payment of benefits

Participants who are totally and permanently disabled may elect to withdraw their account balances through written notice to the Committee at any time. Also, participants who have attained age 59 ½ may elect to withdraw their balances by written notice to the Committee, but upon doing so will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Participants may make withdrawals of any part or all of the balance in their salary reduction contribution accounts, prior to termination, in order for the participant to meet an immediate and significant financial need for which a withdrawal would be permitted by IRS regulations. A participant may make only one hardship withdrawal during any Plan year. Participants who make hardship withdrawals will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Distributions of account balances are generally made to participants in a single sum payment. Participants whose employment terminates due to retirement, disability or death may elect to receive their account balances in substantially equal installments over a fixed period, in lieu of a single sum distribution. Distributions are made in cash, except that participants may elect to receive the portion invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund in whole shares of Tribune Company common stock.

Subject to any collective bargaining agreement, the Company has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA.

Due to the level of risks associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks and values in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

General

The Plan was established effective July 1, 1991 by Tribune Company (the “Company”).

Separate benefit accounts are maintained for each participant.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA, an audit is not required for the Plan. The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, distributions will be made in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.

Plan administration

Plan is administered by the Tribune Company Employee Benefits Committee (the “Committee”), which is appointed by the board of directors of the Company. The Plan’s trustee, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“Vanguard” or the “Trustee”), is responsible for the custody and management of the Plan’s assets.

Contributions

Participants may elect to make before-tax (“salary reduction”) contributions of 1% to 25% of their compensation (as defined in the Plan) subject to Plan and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Participants and Administrator
of the Tribune Company Defined Contribution Retirement Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Tribune Company Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TRIBUNE COMPANY DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following brief description of the Tribune Company Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

General

The Plan was established effective January 1, 1986 by Tribune Company (the “Company”). The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers the members of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (“AFTRA”) unions at KTLA Inc. and WPIX Inc., the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (“IBEW”) unions at WEWB Inc., WLVI Inc. and WPHL Inc., and the Newspaper Guild union at WPIX Inc. who meet age and service requirements, as defined in the Plan document. Separate benefit accounts are maintained for each participant.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, distributions will be made in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.

Plan administration

The Plan is administered by the Tribune Company Employee Benefits Committee (the “Committee”) which is appointed by the board of directors of the Company. The Plan’s trustee, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“Vanguard” or the “Trustee”), is responsible for the custody and management of the Plan’s assets.

Contributions

Participants may elect to make before-tax (“salary reduction”) contributions of 1% to 25% of their compensation (as defined in the Plan) subject to Plan and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers seven investment alternatives (six mutual funds and the Tribune Company Stock Fund). The Company makes a contribution of 3% of each employee’s eligible compensation to the Plan, based on each union’s collective bargaining agreement. The Company contribution, if applicable, is allocated according to the participants’ investment elections.

Participants may elect to have all or a percentage (in 1% increments) of their contributions and their share of the Company’s contributions, if applicable, invested in or transferred among one or more of the investment funds. Participants’ may elect that up to 100% of their contributions and up to 100% of their share of the Company’s matching contributions be invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund. The Trustee’s purchases of Tribune Company common stock are made in the open market.

37

Participants may change their investment options effective with the next pay period. Participants may make interfund transfers on a daily basis.

Participant rollovers represent transfers made to the Plan from another qualified plan or from the Plan to an individual retirement account or another qualified plan.

Participants’ accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant elections or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting

Participants are vested immediately in their own contributions. Participants earn vesting rights to Company contributions at a rate of 20% per year of service, or 100% after five years. Full vesting is provided at retirement, disability or death, regardless of service.

Payment of benefits

Participants who are totally and permanently disabled may elect to withdraw their account balances through written notice to the Committee at any time. Also, participants who have attained age 59 ½ may elect to withdraw their balances by written notice to the Committee, but upon doing so will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Participants may make withdrawals of any part or all of the balance in their salary reduction contribution accounts, prior to termination, in order for the participant to meet an immediate and significant financial need for which a withdrawal would be permitted by IRS regulations. A participant may make only one hardship withdrawal during any Plan year. Participants who make hardship withdrawals will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Distributions of account balances are generally made to participants in a single sum payment. Participants whose employment terminates due to retirement, disability or death may elect to receive their account balances in substantially equal installments over a fixed period, in lieu of a single sum distribution. Distributions are made in cash, except that participants may elect to receive the portion invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund in whole shares of Tribune Company common stock.

Plan termination

Subject to any collective bargaining agreement, the Company has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their employer contributions.

38

Forfeited accounts

Forfeitures of terminated non-vested account balances are used to reduce future employer contributions and totaled $4,624 and $726 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment valuation and income recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Publicly traded funds are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. The Tribune Company Stock Fund is valued at the unit closing price as determined by the Trustee on the last business day of the Plan year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Payment of benefits

CHICAGO TRIBUNE TAX DEFERRED INVESTMENT PLAN FOR MACHINISTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following brief description of the Chicago Tribune Tax Deferred Investment Plan for Machinists (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

General

The Plan was established effective January 1, 1996 by Tribune Company (the “Company”). The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers the International Association of Machinists union employees at Chicago Tribune who meet age and service requirements. Separate benefit accounts are maintained for each participant.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA, an audit is not required for the Plan. The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, distributions will be made in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.

Plan administration

The Plan is administered by the Tribune Company Employee Benefits Committee (the “Committee”), which is appointed by the board of directors of the Company. The Plan’s trustee, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“Vanguard” or the “Trustee”), is responsible for the custody and management of the Plan’s assets.

Contributions

Participants may elect to make before-tax (“salary reduction”) contributions of 1% to 25% of their compensation (as defined in the Plan) subject to Plan and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers five investment alternatives (four mutual funds and the Tribune Company Stock Fund).

Participants may elect to have all or a percentage (in 1% increments) of their contributions invested in or transferred among one or more of the investment funds. Participants may elect that up to 100% of their contributions be invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund. The Trustee’s purchases of Tribune Company common stock are made in the open market. Participants may change their investment options effective with the next pay period. Participants may make interfund transfers on a daily basis.

Participant rollovers represent transfers made to the Plan from another qualified plan or from the Plan to an individual retirement account or another qualified plan.

46

Participants’ accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant elections or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting

Participants are, at all times, 100% vested in their own accounts.

Payment of benefits

Participants who are totally and permanently disabled may elect to withdraw their account balances through written notice to the Committee at any time. Also, participants who have attained age 59 ½ may elect to withdraw their balances by written notice to the Committee, but upon doing so will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Participants may make withdrawals of any part or all of the balance in their salary reduction contribution accounts, prior to termination, in order for the participant to meet an immediate and significant financial need for which a withdrawal would be permitted by IRS regulations. A participant may make only one hardship withdrawal during any Plan year. Participants who make hardship withdrawals will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Distributions of account balances are generally made to participants in a single sum payment. Participants whose employment terminates due to retirement, disability or death may elect to receive their account balances in substantially equal installments over a fixed period, in lieu of a single sum distribution. Distributions are made in cash, except that participants may elect to receive the portion invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund in whole shares of Tribune Company common stock.

Participant loans

The Plan permits participants to borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Loans fund. Loan terms range from one to five years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account. The interest rate for a loan is the prime rate on the last business day of the prior month and is fixed for the life of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Plan termination

Subject to any collective bargaining agreement, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA.

47

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment valuation and income recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Publicly traded funds are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. The Tribune Company Stock Fund is valued at the unit closing price as determined by the Trustee on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans are valued at amounts originally borrowed by participants, less amounts subsequently repaid.

Net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of investments includes both realized gains and losses on investments sold and unrealized gains and losses on investments held at the end of the year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Payment of benefits

Distributions are recorded when paid. Benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31 but not yet distributed as of that date are shown as a liability on the Form 5500, filed with the Department of Labor. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, all benefit claims that were processed and approved for payment had been distributed.

Administrative fees

Administrative fees of $12,444 for the year ended December 31, 2002 were paid by the Plan.

48

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS

The following presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets:

	December 31,
	2002	2001
Vanguard Institutional Index Fund; 4,798 units
and 7,595 units, respectively	$386,022	$796,611
Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund; 528,656 units
and 302,302 units, respectively	528,656	302,302

Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund; 22,570 units
and 6,721 units, respectively	234,274	68,147

During 2002, the Plan’s investments (including both realized gains and losses on investments sold and unrealized gains and losses on investments held at the end of the year) depreciated in value by $184,271 as follows:

Mutual funds	$(208,277	)
Tribune Company Stock Fund	24,006
Net depreciation in fair value of investments	$(184,271	)

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAX STATUS

The IRS has determined and informed the Company by letter dated October 3, 2002, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Vanguard. Vanguard is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

49

NOTE 6 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan provides for various investment options in several investment securities and instruments. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risks associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks and values in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Participants and Administrator
of the Times Mirror Savings Plus Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Times Mirror Savings Plus Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TIMES MIRROR SAVINGS PLUS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following brief description of the Times Mirror Savings Plus Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

General

The Plan was established effective December 15, 1983 by the Times Mirror Company. On June 12, 2000, the Times Mirror Company and Tribune Company (the “Company”) completed the merger of the Times Mirror Company into the Company in a cash and stock transaction. Each share of Times Mirror common stock (both series A and series C) was converted into 2.5 shares of Tribune common stock, or $95 in cash subject to certain limitations. Plan participants were given the choice to either convert their share balance to Tribune common stock or cash which could then be reallocated to other investment options.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers eligible salaried and hourly employees of the former Times Mirror Company and participating subsidiaries. Separate benefit accounts are maintained for each participant.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, distributions will be made in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.

Certain employees of the former Times Mirror Company and participating subsidiaries are generally eligible to participate if they are 21 years of age, except for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements which do not provide for their participation in the Plan.

Plan administration

The Plan is administered by the Tribune Company Employee Benefits Committee (the “Committee”), which is appointed by the board of directors of the Company. The Plan’s trustee, Fidelity Management Trust Company, (“Fidelity” or the “Trustee”), is responsible for the custody and management of the Plan’s assets.

Contributions

Participants may elect to make before-tax (“salary reduction”) contributions of 1% to 25% of their compensation (as defined in the Plan) subject to Plan and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers 13 investment alternatives. After the first full year of eligible service, the Company makes a contribution to the Plan in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of participant

56

before-tax contributions for that period. The Company contribution is allocated according to the participants’ investment elections. Certain participants may elect to contribute an additional 1% to 15% of basic compensation on an after-tax basis. Any combination of before-tax and after-tax savings may be used; however, the total savings cannot exceed 15% of basic compensation. After-tax contributions are not matched by the Company.

Participants may elect to have all or a percentage (in 1% increments) of their contributions and their share of the Company’s contributions invested in or transferred among one or more of the investment funds. Participants’ may elect that up to 100% of their contributions and up to 100% of their share of the Company’s matching contributions be invested in the Tribune Company Stock Fund. The Trustee’s purchases of Tribune Company common stock are made in the open market. Participants may change their investment options effective with the next pay period. Participants may make interfund transfers on a daily basis.

Participant rollovers represent transfers made to the Plan from another qualified plan or from the Plan to an individual retirement account or another qualified plan.

Participants’ accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant elections or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting

Participants are 100% vested in their before-tax and after-tax employee contributions at all times. As a result of the merger discussed in Note 1, participants who were employees as of June 12, 2000 became 100% vested in their accounts and the Company contributions as of and subsequent to June 12, 2000. An employee who became a participant after June 12, 2000 is 100% vested in the Company matching account at the earliest of: 3 years of vesting service, age 65, total and permanent disability, or death.

Payment of benefits

Participants who are totally and permanently disabled may elect to withdraw their account balances through written notice to the Committee at any time. Also, participants who have attained age 59 ½ may elect to withdraw their balances by written notice to the Committee, but upon doing so will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

Participants may make withdrawals of any part or all of the balance in their salary reduction contribution accounts, prior to termination, in order for the participant to meet an immediate and significant financial need for which a withdrawal would be permitted by IRS regulations. A participant may make only one hardship withdrawal during any Plan year. Participants who make hardship withdrawals will cease to be eligible to make salary reduction contributions for one year.

57

Distributions of account balances are generally made to participants in a single sum payment. Participants whose employment terminates due to retirement, disability or death may elect to receive their account balances in substantially equal installments over a fixed period, in lieu of a single sum distribution. Distributions are made in cash, except that participants may elect to receive the portion invested in the Company Stock Fund in whole shares of Tribune Company common stock.

Participant loans

The Plan permits participants to borrow from their accounts a minimum of $500 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance less the highest outstanding loan balance during the most recent 12 month period. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Loans fund. Each loan shall be repaid within 5 years unless the loan is to be used to acquire a principal residence in which the loan shall be repaid within 30 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account. The interest rate for a loan is the prime rate on the last business day of the prior month and is fixed for the life of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Plan termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of the Plan termination, participants would become 100 percent vested in their employer contributions.

Forfeited accounts

Forfeitures of terminated non-vested account balances are used to reduce future employer contributions and totaled $128,461 and $167,582 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain 2001 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

58

Investment valuation and income recognition

The Plan’s investments, excluding guaranteed investment contracts (“GIC”), are stated at fair value. GICs held by the Plan are stated at contract value, which consists of amounts invested (net of withdrawals) plus reinvested earnings. Publicly traded funds are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. The Tribune Company Stock Fund and the Cox Communications, Inc. Stock Fund are valued at the unit closing price as determined by the Trustee on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans are valued at amounts originally borrowed by participants, less amounts subsequently repaid.

Net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of investments includes both realized gains and losses on investments sold and unrealized gains and losses on investments held at the end of the year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

Payment of benefits

Distributions are recorded when paid. Benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31 but not yet distributed as of that date are shown as a liability on the Form 5500, filed with the Department of Labor. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, all benefit claims that were processed and approved for payment had been distributed.

Administrative fees

Administrative fees of $260,698 for the year ended December 31, 2002 were paid by the Plan.

Mutual funds and other	$(100,123,710	)
Tribune Company Stock Fund	25,048,373
Net depreciation in fair value of investments	$(75,075,337	)

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES

The Fidelity Income Fund (“Fund”) primarily invests in traditional and synthetic GICs issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions. The Fund provides participants principal preservation and a stable interest rate that is reset quarterly. The Fund allows for daily withdrawals and exchanges that are paid at contract value (principal and interest accrued to date). All GICs included in the Fund are accounted for at contract value.

Traditional GICs provide for the payment of a specified rate of interest to the Fund and for the repayment of principal when the contract matures. Certain restrictions exist such that penalties may result from the termination of these contracts or early withdrawal of assets by the Plan.

The fair value of the traditional GICs was $14,848,030, which was $314,799 higher than the contract value of $14,533,231 as of December 31, 2002. The fair value of the traditional GICs was $27,729,536, which was $714,867 higher than the contract value of $27,014,669 as of

60

December 31, 2001. Fair value for each traditional GIC is estimated by calculating the net present value of the contract value at the scheduled maturity date.

Synthetic GICs simulate the performance of a traditional investment contract. The plan owns the assets underlying the synthetic GICs. To enable the Fund to realize a specific known value for the assets if it needs to liquidate them to make benefit payments, the Fund purchases fully benefit responsive “wrapper” contracts issued by financial institutions. These contracts provide the Fund with market and cash flow risk protection. The Plan’s investment guidelines for synthetic GICs require that the financial institutions have a minimum credit rating of AA or equivalent.

The average yield for Fidelity Income Fund investments was 5.97% in 2002. The weighted average crediting rate for the investment contracts was 5.24% in 2002.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAX STATUS

The IRS has determined and informed the Company by letter dated April 28, 2003, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

NOTE 7 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan provides for various investment options in several investment securities and instruments. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risks associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks and values in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
