Properties

Upon its sale to CNC in 1992, Tab Communications consisted of 14 free weekly newspapers, with a circulation well over 150,000, all in the immediate Boston area or MetroWest, Massachusetts (the year of the newspapers' first issue is in parentheses):

  • Allston-Brighton Tab of Allston and Brighton (1981, as Boston Tab)
  • Ashland Tab of Ashland (late 1980s)
  • Brookline Tab of Brookline (1979)
  • Cambridge Tab of Cambridge (1981)
  • Dover Tab of Dover (late 1980s)
  • Framingham Tab of Framingham (1986)
  • Holliston Tab of Holliston (late 1980s)
  • Natick Tab of Natick (1986)
  • Newton Tab of Newton (1979)
  • Sherborn Tab of Sherborn (late 1980s)
  • Sudbury Tab of Sudbury (late 1980s)
  • Wayland Tab of Wayland (late 1980s)
  • Wellesley Tab of Wellesley (1985)
  • Weston Tab of Weston (1986)

All of these newspapers except the Dover, Sherborn and Wellesley papers are still published by Community Newspaper Company, in the company's Metro and West units. The Sudbury, Weston and Wayland papers are still issued in combined editions with former competitors; the Cambridge paper still competes with the Chronicle, now also owned by CNC.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:

    A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.
    John Locke (1632–1704)
