Sorry Peter and Hugh, but I am 100 per cent certain you are wrong. In fact, 110 ten per cent as they say in football. ;)

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

If you really believe that then you really are gullible because it has been in the planning stages since he closed the old sunday rag it replaced and it was mooted as such at the time and all the media expected this to happen, so that just leaves you believing something different to everyone else.

Try reading this from the Register dated 8th July 2011.

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

OK Peter, I think we might be at slight cross purposes here. If you read my original post, you'll see that I referred to "the small army of honest, dedicated and law-abiding professionals who piled in yesterday to produce the new edition at a moment's notice".

Now, whatever has been reported regarding the preparations and dummy issues worked on in advance, I can absolutely, positively guarantee you that what I said there is correct. The vast majority of staff were not forewarned of the launch details until the official go-ahead was given a few days earlier. They were therefore effectively brought in "at a moment's notice". I'm afraid you'll just have to trust me on that. :)

Marko, do you work for news international by any chance? Or, do you have relatives/friends who do?

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

I'm in contact with people who do.

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

It's worth pointing out that although that domain is still registered to NI, it doesn't appear to point to an actual site.

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

Well let them know that they now have a massive job ahead of them to turn around the fact that News International is now the Ratner's of the media business

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

No they were not as it was planned for months and they knew what date they were going to produce this rag, no need to trust anyone as I am not that gullible.

If murdoch said put your hand in the fire it will not hurt would you?

If you believe what you have posted then I really do feel sorry for you, producing a newspaper at a moments notice, next you will insist it was with the help of Harry Potter or should that be Voldemort.:rolleyes::confused:

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

Peter, the lowly production and admin staff at the Sun will have been no more aware of exact launch details than you were aware of the content of boardroom discussion when you worked for Virgin Media.

You are allowing your blind hatred for this particular newspaper to cloud the issue. Murdoch and his senior staff will have had the date pencilled in for months but that is not to say they communicated it.

The implication of Marko's posts is that s/he either works for NI or is associated with someone who does. Whether they wish to elaborate on that point is up to them, but even if they have no connection with the organisation, the facts are still the facts. There is no way the jobbing staff in the print works, page layout and similar departments would have been handed such commercially sensitive information any sooner than was absolutely necessary.

"that News International is now the Ratner's" I never had anywhere near the dislike for ratner that i have for NI lol.

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

:clap:

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

Thanks Chris, voice of reason. Although I'm pretty confident the launch date was actually a surprise to many senior staff as well as to the "lowly" infantry. ;)

To be honest I didn't expect anything other than the type of blind hatred towards NI that's been exhibited on this thread. My guess is that company could end Third World Debt, cure cancer and feed the starving millions . . . yet still get pelters from all sides.

The answer looks simple to me. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

My point exactly and when they have "ended Third World Debt, cured cancer and fed the starving millions " I will consider them as long as they did not hack anything to do it :)

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

err, The Sun is still a trashy newspaper, with the same editorial policy and same addiction to hacking and if it is a "family paper" what about Page 3?

It is become (if it not there already) the NOTW with a diffrent name

What about the other sunday newspapers then?

Same here :angel:

The Sun's reputation is pretty bad as well, they have also been linked to phone hacking!

---------- Post added at 12:41 ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 ----------

They have been planning the The Sun on Sunday as soon as they shut the NOTW!

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
 

That is extremely unlikely. Senior staff would need to plan all sorts of logistics, production, staffing, and advertising. These things can't just happen, they have to be planned.

I can understand that junior staff would be kept in the dark to prevent it from being leaked. But it has been expected ever since NOTW closed. It was just a matter of when.
