==History==
=== Chicago Tribune Syndicate (1918–2000) ===
[[Sidney Smith (cartoonist)|Sidney Smith]] 's early comic strip ''[[The Gumps]]'' had a key role in the rise of [[Comic strip syndication|syndication]] when [[Robert R. McCormick]] and [[Joseph Medill Patterson]], who had both been publishing the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' since 1914, planned to launch a tabloid in New York, as comics historian [[Coulton Waugh]] explained:
{{blockquote|So originated on June 16, 1919, the ''Illustrated Daily News'', a title which, as too English, was almost at once clipped to ''[[New York Daily News|(New York) Daily News]]''. It was a picture paper, and it was a perfect setting for the newly developed art of the comic strip. The first issue shows but a single strip, ''The Gumps''. It was the almost instant popularity of this famous strip that directly brought national syndication into being. Midwestern and other papers began writing to the ''Chicago Tribune'', which also published ''The Gumps'', requesting to be allowed to use the new comic, and the result was that the heads of the two papers collaborated and founded the . . . syndicate, which soon was distributing Tribune-News features to every nook and cranny of the country.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=fm8mRsBP3YkC&dq=waugh+%22harold+gray%22&pg=PA84 Waugh, Coulton. ''The Comics'', 1947.]</ref>}}

Patterson founded the '''Chicago Tribune Syndicate''' in 1918, managed by Arthur Crawford.<ref name=Watson>Watson, Elmo Scott. [http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2016/07/history-of-newspaper-syndicates-by-elmo.html "The Era of Consolidation, 1890-1920" (Chapter VII)], in ''A History Of Newspaper Syndicates In The United States, 1865-1935'' (Western Newspaper Union, 1936), [http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2016/07/history-of-newspaper-syndicates-by-elmo.html archived at Stripper's Guide]</ref> 

In 1933, Patterson (who was then based in New York and running the ''Daily News''),<ref name=Watson /> launched the '''Chicago Tribune-Daily News Syndicate, Inc.''' (also known as the '''Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate''' and the '''Tribune-New York (Daily) News Syndicate''').<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/tribune-company-history/ |title= Tribune Company History |publisher= Funding Universe|access-date=2015-05-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title= International Directory of Company Histories |volume= 63 |publisher= St. James Press |date= 2004}}</ref>

An April 1933 article in ''[[Fortune (magazine)|Fortune]]'' described the "Big Four" American syndicates as [[United Feature Syndicate]], [[King Features Syndicate]], the Chicago Tribune Syndicate, and the [[Bell-McClure Syndicate]].<ref name="jh">[[Jeet Heer]], "Crane's Great Gamble", in Roy Crane, ''Buz Sawyer: 1, The War in the Pacific''. Seattle, Wash.: Fantagraphics Books, 2011. {{ISBN|9781606993620}}</ref> [[Mollie Slott]] kept the syndicate running in its mid-century glory days.

In 1968, the syndicate offered about 150 features to approximately 1400 client newspapers.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Maley|first=Don|date=30 November 1968|title=Super Roads to Riches are Paved with Comics|url=https://archive.org/details/sim_editor-publisher_1968-11-30_101_48/page/8/mode/2up|magazine=Editor & Publisher|access-date=15 November 2023}}</ref> 

=== Tribune Media Services (2000–2013) ===
[[Tribune Publishing]] acquired the [[Times Mirror Company]] in 2000, with the [[Los Angeles Times Syndicate]] being merged into '''Tribune Media Services'''.<ref>{{Cite news|title = MULTIMEDIA DEAL: THE DEAL; Tribune Company Agrees to Buy Times Mirror|url = https://www.nytimes.com/2000/03/14/business/multimedia-deal-the-deal-tribune-company-agrees-to-buy-times-mirror.html|newspaper = The New York Times|date = 2000-03-14|access-date = 2016-02-21|issn = 0362-4331|first = Felicity|last = Barringer|first2 = Laura M.|last2 = Holson}}</ref><ref name=TDC-20220601 />

In 2006 [[The McClatchy Company]] inherited a partnership with the [[Tribune Company]], in the [[news agency|news service]] Knight Ridder-Tribune Information Services, when it acquired [[Knight Ridder]];<ref>{{cite news | last = Seelye | first = Katharine Q. |author2=Andrew Ross Sorkin  | date = 2006-03-12 | title = Knight Ridder Newspaper Chain Agrees to Sale | format = Fee | url = http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50817FB3B550C718DDDAA0894DE404482&n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fPeople%2fS%2fSorkin%2c%20Andrew%20Ross | work = [[The New York Times]] }}</ref> the new service was called the '''McClatchy-Tribune News Service''' (MCT).

=== Tribune Content Agency (2013-present) ===

On June 12, 2014, Tribune Media Services was merged into [[Gracenote]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rapidtvnews.com/2014061234059/tribune-to-merge-media-services-into-gracenote-operations.html |title=Tribune to merge Media Services into Gracenote operations &#124; Social TV &#124; News |publisher=Rapidtvnews.com |date=2014-06-12 |access-date=2015-05-29}}</ref> After the 2014 split of Tribune Company assets between [[Tribune Media]] and [[Tribune Publishing]], Gracenote went to Tribune Media (who would sell it to [[Nielsen Holdings]] in 2016) while Tribune Content Agency content remained with Tribune Publishing.

On September 22, 2014, the McClatchy-Tribune News Service (MCT) was renamed the '''Tribune News Service''' (TNS).
