June 15, 2009 — Buffalo News to begin printing NYT

The Buffalo (N.Y.) News said it will begin printing national editions of The New York Times slated for distribution in the Buffalo, Rochester and Toronto regions beginning this fall.
At deadline, it was unclear what impact the agreement might have on an existing printing and distribution contract The Times signed with Transcontinental Inc. in 2005 that covers the same geographic area.
“Printing the New York Times at our press facility is good news for both our employees and the region,” said Dottie Gallagher-Cohen, senior vice president/marketing at The News. “It underscores our commitments to broaden our business model in these tough economic times and to remain a strong member of the local business community.”
Terms of the contract weren’t disclosed. The News upgraded one of its Koenig & Bauer AG Colora presses to produce The Times, installing a color couple to provide an additional four pages of color.
