Current Owners are the Chicago Sun Times. I’m not sure how the Reader plays into this. I don’t think the Reader is still connected to the SDMB.

I believe the Reader was sold off before 2020 and is not connected in fact.

Some confirmation from 2018:

> Just announced. Anyone know about the acquiring company?
