I would like to take this opportunity to give you a little more information about ‘The TAB.’ ‘The TAB’ was established in September of 1985 as a free weekly newspaper. The goal was to give the community a newspaper that would cover the local news and be distributed to the entire county. Because of the tremendous response from the advertisers and readers throughout the county, we began publishing twice a week in October of 1991.
The TAB’ is the only newspaper in Huntington County where you can reach the entire county twice a week.
You will have a choice of advertising early in the week with our Monday issue or aim for the weekend business with our Thursday issue. With the many choices people have to subscribe to newspapers in the rural areas, we believe a free distribution is the best way for customers to reach the total market.
Free distribution is our only business and not a gimmick to make a quick profit or supplement a paid circulation base. We have worked hard to maintain and increase our distribution over the years. Maintaining a complete total market distribution requires constant upkeep on motor route tubes, a watchful eye on walking carriers and cooperation with the communities. We are also willing to start delivery at a new residence as we are notified. Our circulation figures represent deliveries to households and not the total households in the county. With people on vacation, vacant homes, new residents, etc., there is always room for improvement.
‘The TAB’ currently publishes Monday and Thursday with a circulation exceeding 15,000 homes each issue. Unlike a “shopper,” we carry 40% news content along with our advertising. We are a totally free distribution paper, so anyone living in Huntington County or one of its rural routes will receive a copy of ‘The TAB.’ This includes the communities of Huntington, Andrews, Bippus, Markle, Roanoke, Warren, and Zanesville. Some of these communities’ rural routes also carry over into neighboring Allen, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley counties.
