Mixed sales fortune for Trinity Mirror dailies

Four of Trinity Mirror’s regional daily titles saw month-on-month increases in sales during October according to figures released today.

The Western Mail, Huddersfield Daily Examiner, Birmingham Mail and Coventry Telegraph all posted circulation rises during the month, the latest monthly ABC figures showed.

However all the group’s daily and Sunday titles are selling fewer than their average circulation over the first six months of the year.

Wales on Sunday has suffered the biggest sales fall compared to the first half of the year, down 14.76pc, while the Birmingham Mail, down 1.37pc, is showing the smallest drop.

    I remember when the Western Mail’s circulation was 95,000 per day. Tragic.
