Last night Don McKee, a former columnist for the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer, hosted the over-night show on WIP. Early this morning during the cross-over with the morning show he discussed rumored changes to come at the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News.
The talk is that the two newspapers will merge and go by the name 'Philadelphia Inquirer.' It will stay a broadsheet (as the Inquirer is now) but the sports section will be a pull-out tabloid (like the Daily News is now). These changes are expected before November, this is when the owner of the two newspapers begins a new fiscal year. Mr. McKee said few if any employee cut-backs will happen as operations behind the scenes have already been merged for the most part.
