Absolutely in fact the last pure evening paper in the US just folded a
couple of months ago in Cincinnati. Their circulation had dropped to
20,000.

When I was a kid my parents got the Herald in the morning delivered
and my Dad would bring the Traveler home. Then every night I would go
to the corner drug store to get my Mom the PAYOFF edition of the
Record so she could see if she won with the bookie number.
The Globe was only bought on Sunday and that is because they took most
of the Sunday comics from the folded Post.

The largest retailer in the US does not heavily advertise in print
(Wal-Mart). At another level look how thin the Phoenix has gotten.

I agree as bleak as radio looks print is ten times worse.
