Associated Newspapers to consult on the future of London Lite

Tuesday 27 October 2009

Associated Newspapers today announced it has entered a period of consultation over the future of London Lite, its free London evening title, which may result in closure.

Consultation will take place with 36 London Lite employees before a final decision is made.

Steve Auckland, Managing Director, Associated Newspapers Free Division, said:

“The latest development in the London afternoon free newspaper space dictates that we look again at the future of London Lite. Despite reaching a large audience with an excellent editorial format, we are concerned about the commercial viability in this highly competitive area”.
