We've been weekend subscribers to the La Crosse Tribune for many years. The main reason we get it are the Primetime TV listing section and coupons. The rest of the news we could get just as easily online. Well, now they've gotten rid of one of our reasons. The Primetime listing is no more. Instead, they have expanded the listing that comes in the paper each day. Well, that does weekend subscribers no good. My husband wrote them an email and their response was basically that there's enough stuff of interest that we should subscribe all week. In other words, "Screw the weekend subscribers." Also screw the ones that aren't psychic, evidentally, as doing it this way makes it impossible to look ahead at what's on tomorrow. Duh!
With TV Guide changed over to a magazine, the Primetime section was a nice replacement. And now that's gone. I guess we'll be looking up the TV schedule on the internet, too, now. Makes me wonder why we bother getting a paper at all anymore. Those coupons aren't that great.
What do you folks think?

I was a weekend subscriber as well. I did not renew my paper this time around. They're still sending it though. I only got it for the coupons anymore anyway and lately I haven't really used a whole lot of them.
i stopped getting it because the coupons rarely saved me more then the paper cost.
