__NOTOC__ ''The Buffalo News'' is the primary newspaper of the Buffalo – Niagara Falls metropolitan area. It was for decades the only newspaper fully owned by Berkshire Hathaway. ==History== The ''News'' was founded in 1873 by Edward Hubert Butler, Sr. as a Sunday paper.〔(Frequently Asked Questions ), www.buffalonews.com〕 In 1880, the News began publishing daily editions as well, and in 1914, became an inversion of its original existence by publishing Monday through Saturday only, with no publication on Sunday. During most of its life, the ''News'' was known as ''The Buffalo Evening News.'' A gentleman's agreement between the ''Evening News'' and the ''Buffalo Courier-Express'' meant that the ''Evening News'' would be just that, while the ''Courier-Express'' would be a morning-only paper. Until 1977, the ''News'' did not publish on Sundays, as per this agreement with the Courier, and its weekend edition appeared on Saturday evening. In 1977, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway purchased the ''Evening News'',〔 and began publishing on Saturday and Sunday mornings.〔 After a period of financial decline, the ''Courier-Express'' published its last issue on September 19, 1982. That year, the ''Evening News'' shortened its name to ''The Buffalo News'' and until 2006, published morning and evening editions. On October 1, 2006, the ''News'' announced it would abandon its afternoon edition later that month, and publish only a morning issue. Now the newspaper has been profitable every year for the last ten years. Today, ''The Buffalo News'' publishes three editions every morning (Western New York, Final and Niagara) and appears online at BuffaloNews.com reaching over 400,000 readers across eight counties each day. ''The News'' Designated Market Area had the largest adult population in Upstate New York. Counties in total circulation area: New York - Allegheny, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Chemung, Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara, Ontario, Steuben, Wyoming; Pennsylvania - Cameron, Erie, McKean, Potter, Warren. The newspaper founded and formerly owned the WBEN television and radio stations, which are now WIVB (Channel 4), WBEN (930), WYRK (106.5) and WTSS (102.5), respectively. The radio stations are now owned by separate companies (WBEN and WTSS are now held by Entercom; WYRK by Townsquare Media), but in 2014, WIVB came back under partial co-ownership with the ''News'' when Buffett's Media General merged with WIVB parent company LIN Media. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Buffalo News」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
