Not disputing Kevin's general thrust, but as sad as the demise of the 
Cincy Post was, it wasn't quite the end of the afternoon paper. In fact, 
another one, the Albuquerque Tribune, just breathed its last a week ago.

There are still a few others left standing, under joint operating 
agreements (the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel in Indiana, for instance, or 
the Tucson Citizen) or as co-owned sister stations to morning dailies 
(the Wheeling, West Virginia News-Register).

I'm pretty sure there are no longer any communities that have a morning 
daily and a competing afternoon daily under entirely separate ownership. 
In most such cases, the former afternoon daily has gone to morning 
publication at some point (i.e. the Honolulu Star-Bulletin).
