Former Disney chief executive Michael Eisner is downplaying reports that he is being considered to head Los Angeles-Times parent Tribune Co. after it exits bankruptcy protection.
Eisner, 68, told a St. Louis radio station on Tuesday that journalists had read more into his association with Tribune than was real.
Eisner said he had invested in Tribune debt and acknowledged “I know all the people involved” in its restructuring. Negotiations continue on a reorganization plan. Eisner simply called himself “an investor” in a good company.
