Newspaper
MediaNews Group is one of the largest newspaper companies in the United States situated throughout California, the Rocky Mountain region and the Northeast. We are privately owned and operate 57 daily newspapers in 12 states with combined daily and Sunday circulation of approximately 2.6 million and 2.9 million, respectively. Each of our newspapers maintains a Web site focused on local news content. These Web sites are hosted by MediaNews Group Interactive, our new media division. We also own a television station, a CBS affiliate in Anchorage, AK and operate radio stations in Texas.
Interactive
We have developed Web sites in all of our newspaper markets focused on leveraging our valuable local content. MediaNews Group Interactive provides each newspaper additional content and tools through its development efforts, strategic partners, and affiliates to complement this local content. By developing community oriented Web sites that provide content and interactivity above and beyond what's in the newspaper, we believe we can create and capture new revenue opportunities while extending and enhancing our significant classified revenue base.
