Let's hope it isn't representitive as I suspect Rupert will be delighted with sales of 13%...

Incidently there where some scousers working on a site i was on who refused to buy the Sunday Sun because they thought it was the Sun :dunce:

Weirdly it owned by Trinity Mirror (who also own The Daily Mirror, the rival to The Sun) :D

It's not weird at all really - the Sunday Sun is a regional title, published by the Newcastle Chronicle and Journal Ltd, which is part of Trinity Mirror ... the key word being 'Trinity', as it was Trinity plc, a major publisher of regional and local newspapers, that bought the Mirror, not the other way round. The Sunday Sun was around for a very long time before its parent company bought the Mirror.

I did my journo training at the training centre based at the offices of the Chronicle/Journal/Sunday Sun.

"Sources say that advertisers signed up include O2, Virgin Media and furniture company Harveys.

Virgin Media has confirmed it is running a campaign; the other companies had not responded to a request to comment at the time of publication."

The Sun on Sunday newspaper is being printed, ready to go on sale for the first time.
About three million copies are expected to be printed, and the company hopes well over two million will be sold.
The NOTW under another name

Quote:

Under the headline "the Sun will come out tomorrow", Saturday's paper described the launch of the 50p title as a "brilliant new era for the Sun".
:rolleyes:

Quote:

It said it would be launched with a TV advert later on Saturday, featuring readers from Edinburgh, London, Dublin and Manchester singing lines from the song Tomorrow from the musical Annie.
Marketing director Robin Painter said: "It shows how excited the great British public are about the new Sunday edition of the Sun."
:rofl:

You poor deluded guy Robin
