It would appear that everything is in place for Michael Eisner, formerly the CEO of Disney, to take over as the chairman of the Tribune Co.

TheWrap is reporting that Eisner has the support of personal friend and Tribune creditor John Angelo, who is helping him through the negotiation process. Angelo’s investment firm, Angelo, Gordon & Co, is one of two Tribune Co. creditors.

So far, Eisner and the Tribune Co. have chosen not to comment.

A formal announcement is expected next week.

Popular reality competition Top Chef is heading into its eighth season on Bravo.

Season number eight brings the foodie program back to Big Apple. The fifth season also took place in New York.

On Sunday night, Top Chef won its first Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality/Competition Program. It marked the first time that The Amazing Race didn’t go home with the trophy since the category’s inception in 2003.

Top Chef features culinary wizards competing against each other in various challenges.

They are judged by a panel of chefs and other notables from the food and wine industry with one or more contestants eliminated in each episode.

Top Chef, the seventh installment of the hit series, is winding down in Washington, D.C.

Steed Media Group has partnered with Ford to create Producer 10, a multi-media magazine heralding the launch of the 2010 Ford Taurus and geared specifically towards black men. The title will highlight the personal stories of 47 influential individuals, including Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade and the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Additionally, Producer 10 plans to produce a documentary in February 2011 to coincide with Black History Month. More information about the project and the producers involved, as well as fashion and culinary tips, can be found at www.producer10.com, the project’s online home.

Wade explained why he elected to participate in Producer 10: “It’s important to me because I can tell my story and hopefully help someone else out to understand what people have to do in order to become successful.”

The magazine will be distributed across ten target markets via home delivery and through “specific male-oriented points of contact,” like certain shops, gyms, businesses and special events. Additionally, the project will include a multi-city tour, called “Design and Dialogue,” to further highlight the men profiled in the magazine.

77 WABC is winning the overnight thanks to Doug McIntyre’s Red Eye Radio.

On February 8, the talk stalwart made the switch from Coast to Coast with George Noory.

In the most recent PPM results, McIntyre’s Citadel Media-syndicated show is number one in highly sought after demographics–men 18-49 and 18-34.

The show, which airs from 1-5 am seven nights a week on WABC-AM, also registered a number two position for men 25-54.

“There was a clear opening for an overnight show that’s live, entertaining, and issues-driven,” Laurie Cantillo, WABC Program Director, tells FishbowlNY. “Doug McIntyre has a humorous and engaging style that’s perfect for the late night/early bird crowd, particularly in a city that never sleeps like New York. As the ratings indicate, his show is on fire, particularly with younger listeners.”

Following the national overnight broadcast, since the fall of 2009, McIntyre hosts the 5 a.m. hour exclusively for WABC.

That show, which is the lead-in for Imus in the Morning, is tops among men 18-34 and men 25-54.

“[It] has been a consistently strong ratings performer, particularly in the men 25-54 demo, so his ratings success is not a surprise,” Cantillo says.

By now it’s fairly old news that Gourmet, the food and wine magazine that Condé Nast shuttered in October of 2009, has found new life as a digital brand, providing insight on all things culinary to its loyal readers via apps and the web.

Now, however, Condé Nast has announced that it will indeed bring back Gourmet in print form as well, specifically as a series of three newsstand-only issues.

The first, Gourmet Quick Kitchen, is due out September 7. The 120-page magazine, which will act as something of an illustrated cookbook and wine guide, is expected to have a relatively small circulation and a cover price of $10.99.

Listeners to WCBS-FM in recent weeks have a heard a new voice on the station.

Dave Packer is not new to New York. In fact, he’s not even new to CBS Radio, having worked at sister station Fresh 102.7/WWFS until last year.

Packer and morning show co-host Danni were fired in September 2009.

Now he’s resurfaced.

At the time of Packer’s ouster at “Fresh,” Brian Thomas was serving as dual program director.

Thomas remains in charge at CBS-FM, the perennially top-rated Classic Hits station.

The versatile Packer has, seemingly, gained exclusivity as the main fill-in jock at 101.1

101.1 had a plethora of veteran jocks they could bring in off the bench, including “Big Jay” Sorensen and Russ “Famous Amos” DiBello.

“We take whoever is available,” Thomas says.

He points out that another of his talented back-up announcers, Don Geronimo took a full-time position at a station in Sacramento.

“I’m in good spirits and in sync with whatever happens to me henceforth, as it is all one big, interesting movie!” DiBello tells FishbowlNY.
