History edit

Boston-based free newspaper publisher Russel Pergament moved into New York City's ultracompetitive newspaper market in the early 2000s, a move Time called "admirable in its audacity", by focusing on the 18-to-34 segment of the population that traditionally did not read newspapers and wanted content that was "fast, blather free and unbiased" according to Pergament. He launched amNew York, published by the Tribune Co. on October 10, 2003.[3] When it launched, AM New York was the first free daily newspaper in New York City.[4]

amNew York grew quickly to a circulation of 290,000 by May 2004. The launch of amNew York was part of a broader effort across the United States to revive the moribund newspaper industry after a decade of eroding readership and declining business.[3]

AM New York, along with Newsday, was sold by the Tribune Company to Cablevision in July 2008.[5] AM New York was acquired by Schneps Media from Newsday Media Group in October 2019.[1][6] and subsequently merged with Metro New York to become AM New York Metro in January 2020.[7]
