Tribune Brings Free Classifieds to 12 Markets

Tribune last week expanded its Los Angeles-based free classifieds provider Recycler.com into six cities where it owns local TV stations. These markets include Dallas, Houston, Seattle, St. Louis, Indianapolis and New Orleans.

Tribune has invested in several online classifieds JVs with rivals Knight Ridder and Gannett, including CareerBuilder, ShopLocal, Cars.com, Apartments.com and Homescape.com. Content from those sites is expected to be added to the Recycler service at some time in the future, Cole said, emphasizing the “non-confrontational” relationship of Recycler to Tribune’s other properties and joint ventures.
