Tribune's independent directors plan to resume deliberations Saturday on whether to accept
Sam Zell's $33-per-share proposal for the company or a rival 11th-hour offer from Los Angeles billionaires
Eli Broad and
Ron Burkle worth $34 a share. A meeting of the full Tribune board is scheduled for Sunday, when a final decision could be voted on. ||
James Rainey: Tribune continues to favor Zell's proposal, but the independent directors were asking questions Friday about the competing Burkle-Broad bid.
