AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BY-LAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
 
 
On July 18, 2007, the Board of Directors of Tribune Company (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s By-Laws to reflect the elimination of the Article VIII provisions governing the Chandler Trust director nominees, which provisions terminated in connection with the Chandler Trusts’ sale of 27,812,585 shares of Tribune Company Common Stock in the Company tender offer completed on June 4, 2007, and a reduction in the overall Board size.  Specifically, the amendments consist of (i) the removal of Article VIII in its entirety, (ii) the removal of references to Article VIII in various subsections of Article III and (iii) a reduction in the overall board size set forth in Section 3.1 from a variable range of no less than ten (10) nor more than sixteen (16) members to a variable range of no less than eight (8) nor more than twelve (12) members.  The revised By-laws of the Company reflecting such amendments became effective July 18, 2007 and are filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1.
