Surely someone knew this uniformity was at least a possibility, so why waste the time, money, manpower and hype on the redesigns in the first place? Seems like further evidence of the short-sightedness of the Zell-ots. So much for innovation. Cookie-cutter pages for everyone! I agree with Mike.

So some pages look different, like the baseball page or an occasional wire page. I asked a friend -- non-newspaper guy and baseball fan -- if he had noticed anything different. He said no, hadn't noticed a thing. The Tribune paper here in our state hasn’t switched typefaces to match Chicago. So some pages look different, like the baseball page or an occasional wire page.

Tribune did the same thing in Allentown. The Morning Call now looks like a local version of the Chicago paper, which isn't terrible... but shows an awful lack of foresight. If the powers in Chi-town wanted to have a uniformed look for the cost-saving purpose of sharing pages, etc., why didn't they implement this formula in the first place? We were only now getting used to all the over-Zellous T6 designs. Sadface. Mike Charles,
