  • Freedom Communications, Inc. , headquartered in Irvine, California, is a media company which owns more than 100 daily and weekly newspapers in the United States, with a combined daily circulation of nearly one million subscribers, and also operates over seventy local news websites. The broadcast division includes eight television stations, including five CBS network affiliates, one CW Television Network affiliate, and two ABC network affiliates. Freedom's flagship newspaper is the Orange County Register, based in Santa Ana, California with a circulation of approximately 300,000. The Register has won three Pulitzer Prizes. The Register's website is the largest, most in-depth of Freedom's websites, drawing the most daily traffic and unique visitors of all of the local news sites. It received both high interest and criticism for the website's open forums, allowing visitors to openly comment on stories and features. Freedom had acquired substantial debt in 2004 when private-equity firms Blackstone Group and Providence Equity Partners acquired a 40 percent share for about $460 million. The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, August 31, 2009 that Freedom Communications was close to announcing a Chapter 11 reorganization. On Septemper 1, 2009, they did, in fact, do so.
