Oldham Chron on 18:52 - Aug 31 with 2766 views | SuddenLad | Saw this earlier today. 49 staff made redundant with immediate effect. The Evening Chron has been a fixture on news stands for decades and is part of the history and culture of Oldham. The 'Green Final' was their version of the Football Pink, published by the MEN. Very sad, but others will inevitably follow.... | |

DevonDale Thanks for the heads up. I gleaned the info from www.pressgazette.co.uk (see below) and misinterpreted the expression 'co-owner' as meaning an equal share.

North-West news portal How Do reports that the Chronicle’s owners, Hirst Kidd and Rennie Ltd, bought the take in order for Rochdale Online to redevelop its website. The Chronicle celebrates 155 years of publishing this later this years as Rochdale Online markes its 10th birthday. | | | |
