Item 8.01. Other Information.

On January 9, 2015, Tribune Media Company (the “Company”) announced that, pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, the Board of Directors of the Company has set May 20, 2015 as the date for the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at a time and location to be determined and specified in our proxy statement related to the Annual Meeting.

Because the date of the Annual Meeting is more than 30 days from the anniversary date of last year’s annual meeting, pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules, including Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have set the deadline for submission of proposals to be included in our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting as the close of business on January 23, 2015. Accordingly, in order for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary, Tribune Media Company, 435 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611, on or before the close of business on January 23, 2015, and must comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

In accordance with the advance notice requirements contained in our amended and restated bylaws applicable for an annual meeting that is not within 30 days of the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting, for director nominations or other business to be brought before the Annual Meeting by a shareholder, other than Rule 14a-8 proposals described above, written notice must be delivered to our Corporate Secretary, Tribune Media Company, 435 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611, on or before the close of business on January 20, 2015. These shareholder notices also must comply with all additional procedures and requirements of our amended and restated bylaws and will not be effective otherwise.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
