10 Facts About Toronto Sun

Toronto Sun is an English-language tabloid newspaper published daily in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In 1971, the Toronto Sun Publishing was created and purchased the syndication operations and newspaper vending boxes from the Toronto Telegram, which ceased operations in the same year.

The Toronto Sun recruited staff from the former Telegram conservative broadsheet newspaper, and published its first edition on 1 November 1973.

The Toronto Sun is considered a spiritual successor to the Telegram.

Toronto Sun was originally published out of leased space at the Eclipse White Wear Company Building at 322 King Street West.

In 1975, the newspaper moved into the Toronto Sun Building at 333 King Street East which was eventually expanded to six storeys to house all of the newspaper's operations.

In 2010, the building was sold to property development company First Gulf, and the Toronto Sun consolidated its operations onto the second floor and remained in the building until it relocated offices in 2016.

Toronto Sun was acquired by Postmedia in 2015, with its purchase of Toronto Sun Media from Quebecor.

Toronto Sun has seen—like most Canadian daily newspapers—a decline in circulation.

Toronto Sun originally had several editors with various responsibilities, none with the title "editor-in-chief"; however, from 1971 to 1976, Peter Worthington was listed on the newspaper's masthead immediately under the publisher, Doug Creighton.
