That October, the Tribune Company became a public firm, with the sale of 7.7 million shares at $26.75 a share. In 1985, Tribune Broadcasting acquired Los Angeles independent station <a href="/wiki/KTLA" title="KTLA">KTLA</a> from <a href="/wiki/Kohlberg_Kravis_Roberts" title="Kohlberg Kravis Roberts">Kohlberg Kravis Roberts</a> for a record $510 million. Because of the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission" title="Federal Communications Commission">Federal Communications Commission</a>'s media cross-ownership regulations, which prohibit the ownership of a television station and newspaper in the same market, Tribune was forced to sell the Los Angeles Daily News. With the purchase of KTLA, Tribune became the fourth largest television station owner in the United States, behind the <a href="/wiki/Big_Three_television_networks" class="mw-redirect" title="Big Three television networks">three major broadcast networks</a>. The company acquired <a href="/wiki/Newport_News,_Virginia" title="Newport News, Virginia">Newport News, Virginia</a> newspaper, the <a href="/wiki/Daily_Press_(Virginia)" title="Daily Press (Virginia)">Daily Press</a> in 1986, but sold off the newspaper's co-owned cable television operations. To counteract a possible hostile corporate takeover in 1987, the Tribune Company developed a plan that allowed shareholders the right to purchase additional preferred shares from a new series of stock in the event that a buyer acquired 10% of the company's common stock or a tender offer for the company. Shareholders also ratified a two-for-one stock split. Tribune Entertainment experienced success in 1987 with the launch of the syndicated daytime <a href="/wiki/Talk_show" title="Talk show">talk show</a> <a href="/wiki/Geraldo_(TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Geraldo (TV series)">Geraldo</a>.

Tribune Broadcasting steadily acquired additional stations during the decade, while Tribune itself launched two new divisions, Tribune Ventures and Tribune Education. In 1993, Tribune Broadcasting launched <a href="/wiki/Chicagoland_Television" title="Chicagoland Television">Chicagoland Television</a> (CLTV), a 24-hour local cable news channel for the Chicago area. Online editions of Tribune's newspapers were developed starting in 1995, with the Chicago Tribune's digital edition launching in 1996. Also in 1996, Tribune (holding a 20% interest) created a joint venture with <a href="/wiki/AOL" title="AOL">American Online</a> (which held an 80% interest) called Digital City, Inc. to set up a series of Digital City websites to provide interactive local news and information services. By 1997, Tribune Publishing had only four daily newspapers remaining in its portfolio: the Chicago Tribune, the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, the Orlando Sentinel and the Daily Press. Tribune also set up its Tribune Ventures division to acquire stakes in newer media businesses. During the middle of that year, Tribune Ventures purchased interests in companies such as AOL (owning 4%), electronic payment specialist <a href="/wiki/CheckFree" class="mw-redirect" title="CheckFree">CheckFree</a> Corporation (owning 5%), search engine company <a href="/wiki/Excite_(web_portal)" title="Excite (web portal)">Excite</a>, Inc.

Tribune invested $21 million in The WB in March 1997, which increased its equity interest in the network to 21.9%.<a href="#cite_note-idch-6">[6]</a> In November 1994, Tribune Broadcasting formed a partnership with several minority partners, including <a href="/wiki/Quincy_Jones" title="Quincy Jones">Quincy Jones</a>, to form Qwest Broadcasting. Qwest operated as a separate company from Tribune (which owned stations in a few markets where Tribune had already owned stations, including <a href="/wiki/WATL_(TV)" class="mw-redirect" title="WATL (TV)">WATL</a> in Atlanta, which was operated alongside Tribune-owned <a href="/wiki/WANF" title="WANF">WGNX</a>);<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> Tribune entered into a new business sector when it formed Tribune Education in 1993. The sector grew and provided high profit margins. Through 1996, Tribune used $400 million to purchase several publishers of education material: <a href="/wiki/Contemporary_Books" class="mw-redirect" title="Contemporary Books">Contemporary Books</a>, Inc., The Wright Group, Everyday Learning Corporation, Jamestown Publishers, Inc., Educational Publishing Corporation, NTC Publishing Group and Janson Publications. In 1996, this group was the number one publisher of supplemental education materials. Tribune Education acquired an 80.5% stake in mass market children's book publisher Landoll in 1997.<a href="#cite_note-idch-6">[6]</a> In June 1998, Tribune entered into a trade with <a href="/wiki/Emmis_Communications" class="mw-redirect" title="Emmis Communications">Emmis Communications</a> to swap WQCD-FM to the latter company, in exchange for acquiring two Emmis-owned television stations (<a href="/wiki/WXMI" title="WXMI">WXMI</a> in <a href="/wiki/Grand_Rapids,_Michigan" title="Grand Rapids, Michigan">Grand Rapids, Michigan</a> and <a href="/wiki/KZJO" title="KZJO">KTZZ</a> in <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a>, <a href="/wiki/Washington_(state)" title="Washington (state)">Washington</a>).

Tribune Interactive, Inc. was incorporated to handle all the various websites for its publishing, television and radio, and newspaper properties. During the 1999 fiscal year, Tribune racked up $1.47 billion in profits on total revenues of $2.92 billion, in part from gains made on the sale of some of its internet investments. In February 2000, Tribune acquired the remaining 67% interest in Qwest Broadcasting for $107 million, effectively adding two more stations to its roster, increasing its reach 27% of the country.<a href="#cite_note-idch-6">[6]</a> In June 2000, Tribune acquired the Los Angeles–based <a href="/wiki/Times_Mirror_Company" title="Times Mirror Company">Times Mirror Company</a> in a US$8.3 billion merger transaction, the largest acquisition in the history of the newspaper industry, effectively doubling the size of Tribune's newspaper holdings.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> The Times Mirror merger added seven daily newspapers to Tribune's existing publishing properties, including the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times" title="Los Angeles Times">Los Angeles Times</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Long_Island" title="Long Island">Long Island</a>-based <a href="/wiki/Newsday" title="Newsday">Newsday</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Baltimore_Sun" title="The Baltimore Sun">The Baltimore Sun</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Hartford_Courant" title="Hartford Courant">Hartford Courant</a>.<a href="#cite_note-idch-6">[6]</a> Through the deal, Tribune became the only media company that owned both newspapers and television stations in the three largest <a href="/wiki/Media_market" title="Media market">media markets</a> of New York City, Los Angeles and <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>,<a href="#cite_note-idch-6">[6]</a> as a result of cross-ownership waivers that were approved by the FCC. Among other advantages from the merger, including various economies of scale, Tribune's newspapers could now effectively compete for national advertising, as it has grown to become the third largest newspaper group in the country. Tribune Media Net, the national advertising sales organization of <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Publishing" title="Tribune Publishing">Tribune Publishing</a>, was established in 2000 to take advantage of the company's expanded scale and scope. By 2001, revenues had grown to $5.25 billion.<a href="#cite_note-idch-6">[6]</a> However, Tribune needed to pay down some of the debt that it accrued through the Times Mirror purchase; as a result, Tribune moved to sell various non-newspaper holdings operated by Times Mirror.

Times Mirror Magazines was sold to <a href="/wiki/Time,_Inc." class="mw-redirect" title="Time, Inc.">Time, Inc.</a> in November of that year for $475 million.
