The Chicago Sun-Times announced today it has formed an exclusive partnership with Chicago.com, where Chicagoans can get the latest Sun-Times sports news as well as access to the best tickets in town for sporting events and more.
"The Sun-Times is Chicago's best source of local news and information," said Fred Lebolt, Vice President, New Media, for the Sun-Times News Group. "It makes sense to partner with Chicago.com, with its comprehensive offerings, including tickets, hotels, Chicago events calendar and more."
People using Chicago.com will get Sun-Times sports headlines, summaries and links to suntimes.com, and the Sun-Times plans to add non-sports news in the near future.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "project," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result" or similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in reports filed by Sun-Times Media Group with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in its Forms 10-K and 10-Q. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
