Bay Area Newspapers Cancel Merger
'Oakland Tribune' and 'Contra Costa Times' to keep names
San Francisco-based newspaper publisher Bay Area News Group (BANG) is reversing plans to amalgamate 11 of its papers into two titles. The Oakland Tribune and The Contra Costa Times will now retain their names.
In August, BANG announced plans to print The Oakland Tribune, Alameda Times-Star, Daily Review, Argus, and West County Times under a single name—the East Bay Tribune—as reported in the San Francisco Chronicle. The Contra Costa Times, Valley Times, San Ramon Valley Times, Tri-Valley Herald, San Joaquin Herald, and East County Times, meanwhile, were to be merged as The Times.
