Casco Bay Weekly
The Casco Bay Weekly was a free alternative weekly newspaper published in Portland, Maine from May 26, 1988 to 2004.[1] It was similar to other alternative newspapers such as The Village Voice and Boston Phoenix.[2]
In 1990, Dodge Morgan, who also owned the Maine Times newspaper, purchased Casco Bay Weekly from Mogul Media Inc. At the time, CBW had a circulation of approximately 20,000 entirely in the Greater Portland area.[3] The paper struggled with declining ad revenues after the establishment of another alternative newspaper, the Portland Phoenix, in 1999.[4]
The paper's final editor, Chris Busby, founded The Bollard in 2005.
