In an effort to reduce costs to maintain our investment in local news,
the Bangor Daily News has reconfigured some of its weekday and weekend
sections.
In the Business section on weekdays, below an easy-to-scan highlight of
the previous day's market activity, we've adopted a consolidated
compilation of regional and most-active stocks, and have included the
familiar commodities, currency and interest rates listings. Although we
no longer will publish comprehensive stock listings, they are available
in their entirety, with additional market information, on the BDN Web
site, bangordailynews.com. Our weekend Business section
will continue to feature the popular Wall Street Journal Sunday, and
will include a full page of the most active stocks and a weekly report
on the most popular mutual funds. The BDN invites readers to recommend
additional stock listings that could be carried in the daily or weekend
paper, space permitting. We'll do our best to accommodate your
suggestions. Please send these suggestions or other comments tocomments@bangordailynews.net or call 990-8157.
In response to requests to expand the television listings in our
weekday papers, the new television grid in the LifeStyle section
includes programming from 7 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., adding late-night and
early-morning listings to the prime time schedule. The weekend grids
will be published unchanged, and will be packaged with the weekend
color Comics. We appreciate our readers' understanding as we make these adjustments in response to changes in the media marketplace and to customer demands and preferences.
