A comparison of Yes Weekly and The Rhino's ads, the last week before the election

Yes Weekly; 56 total pages

23.75 pages of ads = 42.41%

2.75 political

Pages of entertainment, club, and restaurant ads; 9
.
.
The Rhino; 40 total pages

11.375 pages of ads = 28.43%

4.125 political = 36% of the Rhino's ads

Pages of entertainment, club, and restaurant ads; 1, which is the Taxpayer funded Greensboro Coliseum, which means Greensboro's taxpayers are subsidizing Roy Carroll and John Hammer for about $1,000 per week.
.
.
It seems as though the entertainment and restaurant industry has boycotted The Rhino.

I wonder if Roy Carroll knew that would happen, after he backed the noise ordinance etc...

If The Rhino doesn't have political ads this week with the same number of pages, they will be at 18%, which appears to be unsustainable.

I believe their circulation is also much smaller than they would have their advertisers believe. Everywhere I go the Rhino is always piled up. Just because you print them does not mean folks are reading.
