The ''Peterborough Telegraph'', or ''PT'' as it is known locally (formerly the ''Peterborough Evening Telegraph'' or ''ET''), is the local newspaper for the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, in the United Kingdom. It is based at New Priestgate House in the city centre. Since 2012, the renamed ''Peterborough Telegraph'' has been a weekly title, published every Thursday morning. The final daily paper was published on Saturday, 26 May. Previously, the ''Evening Telegraph'' was published in full colour on Monday to Saturday mornings plus supplements; jobs (Thursday), property (Wednesday), motors and entertainment (both Friday) and a lifestyle magazine ''ET Life'' on Saturday. Sister paper, the ''Peterborough Citizen'' is published every Thursday, with a round-up of the weeks content. An accompanying iPad football app was launched at the time of the change to a weekly print cycle. ==History and ownership== The paper began in 1948 as localised edition of the ''Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph'', founded in Kettering in 1897, with four change pages. From 1961 it was published in Peterborough from the Advertiser's offices in Cumbergate. A district edition was published between 1966 and 1967, entitled Stamford Evening Telegraph from 1987 to 1988, continuing as a general county edition with seven change pages.〔(Peterborough Evening Telegraph ) Newsplan, Libraries and Information East Midlands (retrieved 2 June 2008)〕 The East Midland Allied Press was formed in 1947 by merger of the Northamptonshire Printing and Publishing Co., the Peterborough Advertiser Co., the West Norfolk and King's Lynn Newspaper Co. and commercial printing sections at Rushden, King's Lynn and Bury St. Edmunds. It was overseen by Pat Winfrey, the son of Sir Richard Winfrey, who had bought the ''Spalding Guardian'' in 1887. In 1996, Emap, as it had become known, divested 69 newspapers, including the Peterborough Evening Telegraph Co.〔Grinnell, Paul (Feature: History of Emap in Peterborough ) Peterborough Evening Telegraph, 30 January 2008〕 The ''Peterborough Telegraph'' is now owned by East Midlands Newspapers Ltd, part of Johnston Press Plc. East Midlands Newspapers also publishes 11 other titles including the ''Stamford Mercury'' and ''Grantham Journal''.〔(East Midlands Newspapers ) Johnston Press, Edinburgh (retrieved 6 November 2012)〕 In 2012, the daily paper was scrapped in favour of a weekly paper, being published and distributed on a Thursday.
