Vancouver

Media

Vancouver is home to a thriving publishing industry. Two major newspapers—The Province, a tabloid format, and The Vancouver Sun— are published daily. A free, weekly entertainment guide, The Georgia Straight, is distributed every Thursday. In 1997, there were 42 publications serving Vancouver's ethnic communities. There are 15 major radio stations in the Greater Vancouver market. While Vancouver has access to as many as 70 television stations, only eight originate in Greater Vancouver; three of the eight have their offices in the city of Vancouver.
