CHICAGO (AFX) - Sun-Times Media Group Inc., formerly Hollinger International Inc., said Wednesday it has acquired the online city guide Centerstage Chicago.
Terms of the acquisition were not announced.
Centerstage Chicago provides data on the city's restaurants, clubs, bars and music and theater venues along with user-written reviews and other information. The Sun-Times News Group, the company's newspaper publishing business, plans to add the information to its site at suntimes.com.
"Centerstage Chicago was ahead of its time in creating an online city guide, and its user-written reviews and other information make it truly an authentic online resource for the area," said Fred Lebolt, vice president of new media for the Sun-Times News Group.
The Chicago news group's other recent strategies include the creation of STNG Wire, a Web-based, 24-hour news and headline service; a news sharing partnership with WMAQ-TV and making suntimes.com available on mobile devices.
