Guardian Media Group monopoly loosens

Time Out Vs City LifeOne reason the Guardian Media Group (GMG) may be coming to regret the closure of City Life, Manchester’s listing magazine, is the mighty Time Out’s decision to fill the void, loosening the local monopolist’s grip on the city’s print media.

GMG has always remained keen to keep the City Life brand alive, having a City Life page in the Manchester Evening News and slapping ‘incorporating City Life’ on that paper’s Friday Go supplement. The immediate response to Time Out has been to re-launch Go as City Life, while still having a City Life page in the paper, which is a tad confusing. Of course, there’s every chance City Life could come back as a spolier in a re-run of Metro Vs Metro.

    Many businesses offer payment to those who link to them and paid-for links are often used here in preference to free links. While such links are not as obvious as other forms of pay-per-click advertising, they still don’t influence views expressed. Entries labelled 'Reader Offer' are advertising promotions.
