That will remove the Advertiser's title of "largest seven-day-a-week printed newspaper in Alabama".
As The Advertiser announced:
"Responding to continued rapid shifts toward digital news consumption, the Montgomery Advertiser will discontinue home delivery of Saturday print editions beginning March 26 and expand subscriber access to news products across the USA TODAY Network.
The Advertiser will continue to produce a full digital replica of the newspaper seven days a week, with local news, sports, advertising and features such as comics and puzzles. Subscribers will also get expanded access to e-Editions throughout the USA TODAY Network, including USA Today and its popular crossword puzzle.
The Montgomery Advertiser is part of the USA TODAY Network, and the change being announced today is also taking place at numerous other publications in the network, including the Tuscaloosa News and the Gadsden Times. Those papers will also move to a six-day-a-week print model with e-Editions produced seven days a week.
The change comes with expanded subscriber access to the USA TODAY Network’s full suite of e-Editions across the country, as well as ad-free access to the USA TODAY Crossword puzzle."
“Not everyone loves going to a website to get their news. We get that,” (Montgomery Advertiser Executive Editor Paige O. Windsor) said. “We held on as long as possible because we know we have readers who prefer holding a newspaper. But we’re excited to have a product like the e-Edition that offers the look and feel of the print version and also lets readers clip and share articles with friends and family and even adjust the print size.”
