DOJ Sues To Break Up Times Sun Wire Service Deal
The Justice Department filed a civil antitrust suit in Brooklyn to dissolve the Feb 1 joint operation between the New York Times Co and Field Enterprises with the Chicago Daily News Sun Times News Service. It argues the pact reduced competition by sharing a wire and sales force, restraining hours and limiting separate services. The NYT News Service and Chicago Daily News Sun Times Service each serve about 175 and 94 domestic subscribers respectively. The government seeks termination of the joint agreement.
