    Yes, there was a reconfiguation of revenue share when Gannett took over the Freep and MediaNews took the News, and now the Freep has the Sunday paper.

    Actually, sad to say, a couple of deaths.

    This position would intrigue me (if I had any qualms about moving back to Michigan). This is a grand opportunity for someone out there. Jump at it.

    No, the deal was the Free Press got Sundays and allowed the News to publish AM instead of PM during the week.

    News already was publishing AM, really.

    Well, the News did add a Saturday edition, I guess, so that's something to hang its hat on.
