Tribune Media Adds WGN Studios to Real Estate Sell-Off

Robert Feder: Tribune Media plans to put another piece of Chicago real estate on the market by selling the north side studios and offices of WGN-Channel 9. Opened in 1961, the headquarters of “Chicago’s Very Own” occupies a 132,000 square-foot building at 2501 West Bradley Place near Western Avenue and Addison Street in the North Center neighborhood. The 10-acre property includes a large surface parking lot. WGN staffers have been assured that a sale would have “no impact” on day-to-day operations of the station.
