''The Cincinnati Times-Star'' was an afternoon daily newspaper in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, from 1880 to 1974. The Northern Kentucky edition was known as ''The Kentucky Times-Star'', and a Sunday edition was known as ''The Sunday Times-Star''. The ''Times-Star'' was owned by the Taft family and originally edited by Charles Phelps Taft. The Taft family's investments in news media would later grow into Taft Broadcasting, a conglomerate that owned radio, television, and entertainment properties nationwide. ==History== The ''Times-Star'' first published on June 15, 1880, after the merger of ''The Times'' (founded April 25, 1840, as ''Spirit of the Times'') and ''The Cincinnati Daily Star'' (founded in 1872 as ''The Evening Star''). Charles Phelps Taft had purchased both papers the previous year. Peter Rawson Taft II was publisher. The ''Times-Star'' strongly supported political boss George B. Cox, to the embarrassment of Charles Phelps Taft's half-brother, progressive reformer and future President William Howard Taft. On November 23, 1895, the ''Times-Star'' ran an editorial proposing a contest to choose a flag for the City of Cincinnati, offering a $50 prize. On January 24, 1896, the commission awarded the $50 to influential illustrator Emil Rothengatter for the design that is in use today.〔 The newspaper's offices were originally located on Sixth and Walnut streets. On January 1, 1933, the ''Times-Star'' moved into the 16-story Cincinnati Times-Star Building on Broadway. In 1939, the ''Times-Star'' purchased WKRC radio from CBS〔"Times-Star buys WKRC, Cincinnati." ''Broadcasting - Broadcast Advertising'', September 1, 1939, pg. 34. ()〕〔"WKRC's transfer approved by FCC." ''Broadcasting - Broadcast Advertising'', December 1, 1939, pg. 36. ()〕 and subsequently became an affiliate and shareholder of the Mutual Broadcasting System through subsidiary Radio Cincinnati. In 1952, a Washington, D.C.–based trust decided to sell ''The Cincinnati Enquirer'' to Charles Phelps Taft, but ''Enquirer'' employees pooled their assets and obtained loans to outbid him. On August 3, 1958, the ''Times-Star'' was sold to Scripps-Howard Newspapers, owners of ''The Cincinnati Post'', which by then had also purchased the ''Enquirer''. Hulbert Taft Jr. was reportedly the only family member who opposed the sale.〔 Radio Cincinnati was reorganized as Taft Broadcasting. The ''Post'' moved into the Times-Star Building and published under the name ''The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star'' until December 31, 1974, when it reverted to ''The Cincinnati Post''. 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 Cincinnati Times-Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
