    Gannett will have to sell some properties. Look for clusters that will be ceded. The biggest sale? NJ to Singleton. It'll come fast, and as a surprise, in late Fall.

    Singleton? That sure as hell came out of left field.....

    More likely that Gannett has been in talks with the Philadelphia Media Network for sometime. Specifically for the properties located within the Philadelhia DMA.

    Unfortunatley for Gannett. It's stock has plunged (reducing the value of it's "currency"), and said properties have recently gone further south than expected.

    Those two factors have gummed up the deal over the last six months. Binghamton isn't happy because the Palace is even less so.

  2. "Specifically for the properties located within the Philadelhia DMA."

    Right - that's why G A N N E T T is pushing and shoving Cherry Hill through the incredibly painful off-site design process it is going through now.

  9. And in a break from unsubstantiated gossip, here's something real: Philip Brasher has been hired by the Gannett Washington Bureau to cover agriculture. If you have reported this already, my apologies for the oversight.

  22. 8:53 - Sure, sure. Westchester is Gannett's biggest money loser. But of course, as you, say, it's not going anywhere.

    Sounds like the kind of delusional thinking that led to the Journal News' collapse the last 2-3 years.

  23. 9:16 here Jim. No. Not drivers. Maybe 8:53 could fill you in on who will be cut. Oh, wait- no proof offered so I must be making it all up. Clock's ticking 8:53...

  25. Sam S has given everything possible to the APP for years. Anybody who doesn't appreciate that is a fool. If his job is impossible now, like a lot of the rest of us, it ain't his fault.

  26. Singleton used to call the Gloucester County (N.J.) Times, which he bought in 1983, his flagship paper, He would use that bull-flattery line at every paper he visited.
