Within a few weeks, the Advertiser in Venice, Englewood Times and North Port Times were added purchases, and in 1979 the Charlotte Sun. By 1985 the company owned its buildings and printing presses in Venice and Port Charlotte and started another mid-week\r\npublication, the Desoto County Times. In 1987, the Charlotte Sun began publishing seven days a week and rapidly overtook its competition in both advertising sales and paid circulation.\r\n\r\nIn 1989, the assets of the Charlotte Herald-News, a 97 year old daily newspaper were purchased, and during 1993/1994 the Englewood, Desoto and North Port publications were incorporated into the daily newspaper creating one of the fastest growing dailies in the country.\r\nIn 2007 and 2008, the heartland papers were purchased and complete the current configuration of newspapers owned by Sun Coast Media Group, Inc.Sun Coast Media Group Address
