History
The Herald AM was founded in September 2005 by Independent News & Media. It was launched as a response to the introduction of the Associated Newspapers and Metro International owned Metro newspaper. The Metro was at the time owned in part by the British Daily Mail and carried stories and editorial from the London edition of its sister Metro paper.
The Herald AM newspaper was originally intended to be called Herald Metro. However, legal action from Metro International led to it being renamed "Herald AM" prior to launch. The newspaper also initially carried the words "metro edition" as part of its masthead but dropped this tag during a redesign in April 2006.
The Metro and Herald AM merged in 2010 to form the Metro Herald.
