I forget now, but I think it was maybe four or five players who made up about 70% of ad revenue. Those guys will definitely come back, and I'd expect those numbers could grow If the paper can find a way to increase circulation (which we began to based on the number of paper drops we had to increase per month.)
Web was an obvious piece of the puzzle, but at the same time the print edition is very much relevant for that market. There were rumblings when I was there from the leadership at the time about replacing the print edition with online; I don't know where they're at now after a big shake up at the top, but without print, the paper's dead. Look at me, still beating that drum almost five years after I've left.
