Pittsburgh City Paper ceases operation

After 34 years in publication, The Pittsburgh City Paper is no more. For the last 3 years it has been owned by Cars Holding, Inc. which is a subsidiary of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette owner, Block Communications, Inc.

Eagle Media, owner of the Butler Eagle; and Steel City Media, owner of WLTJ (92.9) and WRRK (96.9) have also owned the paper at one time or another. The move is blamed on financial hardships.

One has to wonder how this will affect Lynn Cullen’s podcast. Her latest program aired December 23. Her affiliation with City Paper dates back to the Steel City Media ownership. More as we hear it.
