The media company's largest creditors are having preliminary conversations with prospective candidates who could operate Tribune once it emerges from bankruptcy protection, according to several people with knowledge of the situation.

 

Eisner, who has been dabbling in the digital world as an investor since stepping down from Disney in 2005, is among the candidates under consideration to replace Chicago real estate magnate Sam Zell as chairman of the reorganized company.

 

Discussions about new management at Tribune are still exploratory, people close to one of the creditors cautioned. Senior creditors can't make changes until a plan is in place allowing the company to emerge from its nearly two-year legal morass.
