Tribune, Gannett to expand Metromix

Gannett Co. Inc. and Tribune Interactive, a division of Tribune Co., announced a joint venture to expand a national network of local entertainment Web sites under the Metromix brand.

The newly formed company, Metromix LLC, will focus on launching Metromix.com in the nation’s top-30 markets plus other key metro areas in the coming months. It will be equally co-owned by the two parent companies.

Additional terms of the venture were not disclosed.
