SAN ANTONIO LIGHT, USA (Texas)

    The SAN ANTONIO LIGHT was the continuation of the EVENING LIGHT, which started in 1881.
    By the first decade of the twentieth century, the weekday edition consisted of eight pages; the SUNDAY LIGHT usually had over 20 pages and included a magazine supplement. Despite the dominance of the Democratic Party in Texas, this Republican journal had one of the largest circulations among San Antonio newspapers.
    Although the LIGHT remained one of the largest circulating newspapers in San Antonio, it experienced financial difficulties in the 1980s and closed in 1993.
   The supplement TV CHANNELS was also published by DETROIT FREE PRESS, and  NEW HAVEN REGISTER. Its sister was TV PREVUES, published by the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER.
