Industry Moves: Tribune Entertainment’s Morehouse Defects To Startup

Another Tribune Company exec departs… Clark Morehouse is the latest to leave Sam Zell’s house, exiting as head of Tribune Entertainment to join local digital broadcast network .2 (as in “dot-2”), B&C reports. The network launches December 8 and offers entertainment programming on stations’ digital channels. Morehouse is the latest in a string of high level departures on Tribune’s broadcast side (the exits on the newspaper side are becoming legion as well). As B&C notes, in recent months, the company has lost WGN Chicago GM Tom Ehlmann, WGN America G.M. Bill Shaw and broadcasting EVP John Vitanovec.

Morehouse told B&C that he began looking towards the exit when Tribune shuttered its syndication business. He worked with .2 on programming and felt comfortable that it was owned by broadcasters and not a conglomerate. The network is owned by Guardian Enterprise Group.
