The tower was built in 1930 and remains a Rockford landmark to this day, as it is still recognized as one of the most appealing buildings in downtown. It was designed to be similar in appearance to the Tribune Tower in Chicago. The publication's general format is customary to that of most papers around the nation; it contains a front page and an "A" section, followed by Local and State news, sports, and business throughout the work week. On Sundays it publishes the ''Sunday Register Star'', where ads for national chains in the area are promoted along with the insertion of comics, the "Go" section, and USA Weekend magazine. In 2003, the newspaper formed an alliance with WREX-TV. Newspaper reporters are seen on WREX-TV's newscasts on a daily basis promoting stories found in the Rockford Register Star, and the newspaper's website contains many videos of WREX's telecasted stories. == Sources == *(GateHouse buys Rockford Register Star ) *(Rockford Register Star ) 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「Rockford Register Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
