Change of ownership

You may or may not know (and may or may not care) tha tthe Birmingham Mail is being sold as a title. It currently belongs to Trinity Mirror, and this publisher has decided to sell, among other assets, it's Midland titles.
This initial announcement came in November last year, and the final stages are now being processed. This could see a formal change of ownership by September, and will result in a pretty instant property move and revealing of very modern publishing and multi-media plans.
Instead of being owned by a large plc with ultimate bosses in London, the paper will probably be owned by locally-based investors.
News on the eventual sale, ids of new owners and location of new property will all come out in the Autumn, but I will file snippets of info on this blog from time to time.
