San Francisco Bay Guardian | Chicago Reader
Tim Redmond claims Village Voice Media -- the alt-weekly chain formerly known as New Times -- "has had something of a standing bid in" for the Chicago Reader for years now. "I know the folks in Phoenix [VVM's headquarters] are going a bit crazy today [now that the Reader's been sold to Creative Loafing]; that would have been a prime addition to the 17-member VVM empire, and it got away." ||
