Colleagues:

Please be aware, that while The Times circulation performance was - as noted below - our strongest September in many years, an error was made in the figures listed.

As reported by ABC Fax Fax, The Times' correct total circulation is: Daily 572, 998 and Sunday 905,920. The percentages are all correct.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I'm sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Bill

Colleagues:

This morning, the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) released its bi-yearly report on paid circulation for the six month period ending September 2011. The Times reported a 4.6% decline in total daily circulation and a 0.5% increase in Sunday circulation. Total circulation reported was 605,244 Daily and 948,889 Sunday.

These represent the strongest September daily results in four years, and the strongest September Sunday results in nine years.

Much of our performance was driven by demand for the core print newspaper. Print circulation was down 4.3% daily, and up 0.3% Sunday—including the first September year-over-year increase in Sunday home delivery (+0.5%) since 2002.

Thank you all for your collective efforts in contributing to these results.

Bill Nagel
