WB Network Chairman Garth Ancier said Monday he expects the network to complete a new, long-term affiliation deal with Tribune-owned TV stations in the next few weeks. Ancier said he expects the deal with Tribune, which has a 22.5% equity stake in the network, to be in the neighborhood of 10 years. He said the sides are now close after solving some disagreements over new-media distribution of programming.
