Windsor Star
The paper began as the weekly Windsor Record in 1888, changing its name to the Border Cities Star in 1918, when it was bought by W. F. Herman.The Windsor Record had only partial wire service, and some felt that the national and international news was not sufficiently covered.McKay eventually agreed to subscribe to the full wire service and sold the Windsor Record to W. F. Herman for an inflated price.The wire service, which was subsidized by government funds, was run mainly by a group of publishers that could use it as a way of limiting competition and increasing the value of their own newspapers (Border Cities Era: October 18, 1918, page 7)[3] Herman had previous experience in the newspaper industry since he had owned the Prince Albert Daily Herald, the Saskatoon Capital, and the Regina Leader-Post.[6] In 2013, the Windsor Star moved to a new facility at 300 Ouellette Avenue, formerly occupied by the CTV Two owned-and-operated station CHWI-DT.
