Winnipeg Sun
The Winnipeg Sun is a daily tabloid-sized newspaper in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
On August 27, 1980, Southam Newspapers closed the Winnipeg Tribune after 94 years in publication, leaving Winnipeg with only one daily newspaper, the Winnipeg Free Press.
In response to demand for a new newspaper voice in the city, the Winnipeg Sun was first published on November 5, 1980. It was initially published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The paper started publishing Sunday to Friday in 1982. The Sun moved to seven day publication in 1992.
In 1983, Quebecor invested in the newspaper. On May 10, 1999, they relaunched the paper as part of the Sun Media chain of newspapers, in the same style as the Toronto Sun, Edmonton Sun, Calgary Sun and Ottawa Sun .
The Sun is published at 1700 Church Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba R2X 3A2.
