You might say this company really believes in freedom of the press. Freedom Communications is a leading newspaper publisher with more than 30 daily papers mostly in California, North Carolina, and Texas. Its portfolio includes The Orange County Register in California, which boasts a circulation of more than 200,000. The company also publishes more than 60 weekly community papers and it owns nearly 10 TV stations, mostly affiliated with CBS and ABC, serving markets in a half dozen states. The family of founder R. C. Hoiles owns about 55% of the company; private equity firms The Blackstone Group and Providence Equity Partners own the remaining interest. Freedom Communications filed for bankruptcy in 2009.
