SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Moody's Investors Service late Tuesday downgraded Tribune Co.'s (TRB) senior unsecured long-term debt ratings to Baa1. The outlook is negative.

Moody's said the negative outlook recognizes ongoing event and execution risks facing the Chicago-based media company and the media sector in general.
