This article is for subscribers only.
Peter Liguori, the head of Tribune Co., has opted for a strategy that comes naturally to the former TV programmer: more original content.
As the media company prepares to shed its print business, Liguori sees its future resting on new shows such as “Salem,” which premiered on Tribune’s WGN America cable network last month and is based on the infamous witch trials in 17th-century Massachusetts. In an interview, he ticked off the benefits of airing original shows on that station.
