But in fourth quarter 2001, the Winnipeg Sun enjoyed an ad sales revenue increase of more than 16% over Q4 2000, and that was just one glowing quarter among many since Quebecor's Sun Media took control of the paper three years ago.
Norrie says that before Sun Media took over, the Winnipeg Sun "had been floundering for 17 years" as a "staid and conservative" clone of its main competitor, the Winnipeg Free Press.
Norrie says that because the Sun brand was fairly well known in Winnipeg before the relaunch, people took to it much like they would to a town's first McDonald's or Tim Hortons: they already knew what to expect.

As concerns about concentrated media ownership and the societal rights and responsibilities of the media are considered on a national level by a Senate Committee, such issues have come to the forefront on the local scene as well.
FPCNLP, who purchased the Free Press and the Brandon Sun from Thomson Newspapers in 2001, is certainly not dominating the national scene in terms of daily newspaper ownership.
When one considers that in 2003, according to the Canadian Newspaper Association, the Free Press enjoyed an average weekly circulation of 881, 320 (compared to the Winnipeg Sun’s average of 334, 496), it becomes quite clear that FPCNLP’s dominance in Winnipeg is significant.
