Comic Strip Index: Tampa Bay (but always St. Petersburg to me) Times

[Jimmy Delach]

This is the Daily and Sunday editions of the newspaper formerly known as the St. Petersburg but now called Tampa Bay Times.

Interesting the cross town Tampa T-----e launched a St. Petersburg edition of the paper. A little bitterness over a rival paper perhaps?

Oh, great, is everyone who posts comics indices going to pull that
ridiculous s--t?

When the St. Petersburg Times began making a big push into the city of
Tampa circa 1990 by launching a Tampa edition, the Tampa Tribune took
action by changing their Sunday paper masthead from "The Tampa Tribune
and Times" to "The Tampa Tribune and The Tampa Times" (the Tampa Times,
the evening paper, had ceased publication in 1982) and changing the name
of their Friday entertainment section from "Friday Extra" to "Tampa Bay
Times." They did go back to "Friday Extra" after a while, so I guess
the St. Petersburg Times finally getting the "it's time" word from their
trademark lawyers is what prompted the name change.

Thanks. I live in Hernando County and I was wondering - since I wasn't in Hillsborough or Pinellas too often - how much the Tribune was seen in Pinellas and the Times was seen in Hillsborough. I assumed they shared the area but I could be wrong.

But really Tribune? Throwing a hissyfit because another paper using their name. Yeesh!
