Albany,n.y. Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'm an E Edition subscriber & I got an e-mail saying there will be no print edition delivery Sunday. Due to dangerous weather conditions and a travel ban mandate for much of our service area, delivery of the Sunday Buffalo News print edition will be deferred until Monday. We apologize for the inconvenience. As a full-access subscriber, you can read a digital replica of the print edition online at buffalonews.com/eedition.

dhg Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Makes me think of all those young kids with the green or blue boxes in front of their parents house that delivered the paper no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The paper is printed in Cleveland and a day late anyway. Does it really matter? 😆🤣😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The results of the Bills game are usually in Tuesday's paper. Wednesday this week. The only time I see it is when I go to the laundromat and read their copy while doing my wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I delivered the Buffalo News in the early 90s. In 1992, I delivered in a blizzard and still got complaint calls into the news that their paper was late. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Any sightings of the guy that's always out in this sort of weather, cut off sweatpants and sneakers? Usually getting $5 gas at Kwik Fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Honestly? Who cares. We get the paper only because it was already paid for, otherwise I wouldn’t get it or the digital version. Print media is dead. Don’t really enjoy reading news that is up to 48 hours old. Thoughtful commentary? Nope. Get better integration with podcasts, websites and, believe it or not, message boards. Ya want your ads? Black Friday ads? On the web, or at the door of supermarkets and most retailers. As much as I have old memories of reading the comics or game recaps, it’s just not what it used to be. 8 hours ago, Draconator said: I delivered the Buffalo News in the early 90s.

Great to stay warm while delivering! Absolutely was a bunch of people that would complain in foul weather, even when I was ready to deliver the paper and the News didn’t get it out until late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually getting $5 gas at Kwik Fill. It's shorts and a hoodie. The wife's car has a full tank. I am home. It's -7°F out. But it's super sunny, I might test the waters a little later. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
