At last! Your Oldham Evening Chronicle is back in regular print. Date published: 22 April 2021
The Oldham Evening Chronicle has been published in Oldham since 1854
It’s been a long time coming, but it’s been confirmed that your Oldham Evening Chronicle will be rolling off the presses again, this time for good.
The newspaper moved online in February 2018, with the printed editions ceasing after over 160 years. Since then, we’ve printed special education editions, and annual review issues for 2019 and 2020.
Now, it’s been confirmed that the newspaper will return to print on Friday, June 25th, with regular, monthly editions.

Owners of the Oldham Evening Chronicle have confirmed the newspaper will return to print on Friday, June 25th.
It will be the first time the newspaper has been printed regularly since 2017 after previous owners, Hirst, Kidd and Rennie went into liquidation.
The title was purchased by Credible Media Group from KPMG in October 2017. The company also own local B2B publication Oldham Business Edge and operated the local radio station Revolution 96.2
The first edition of the free printed edition will be on supermarket shelves on Friday June 25th, with regular monthly editions, said Credible Media, with the aim to produce a weekly edition later this year, followed by a bi-weekly edition by early 2022.
