Thanks, Ken.
I found our copy. This is what is says:
“Beginning Oct. 1, the Inquirer is enhancing the Saturday newspaper for those who now buy it on the newsstand or in stores.
To offer more comprehensive news and advertising, we are combining our Saturday newsstand edition with the early edition of the Sunday Inquirer. The new package
will provide more live sports from Friday night, the best features of the Sunday Inquirer, and of course, lots of coupons and advertising sections that will not only let you plan your weekend shopping, but make the paper a real bargain.
If you get the paper delivered at home, you’ll see no changes in your Saturday paper. If you’re now a newsstand buyer and would like to get the same Saturday
and Sunday papers you always have, call 1-877-997-8632 to set up home delivery.”
I guess this means the newsstand edition (and this was the edition we were having delivered) combined Sat. & Sun.
I am glad to have an explanation other than there is no more Saturday paper.
Thanks.

There was something about it on the bottom front page of the Sept 24th issue; I don't remember exactly what it said (I'm at home now).

If anyone does have info – I would be interested also. We were told by our carrier that it wasn’t being printed anymore also.

Yes, we are right outside of Philly, so we have a local carrier, and we get all seven editions per week.
I don't have any insight to offer about how to get it farther away from Philly, but it is published in print on Saturdays. Maybe someone else has information?

Johanna, perhaps you are getting it because you are just outside of Philly?

It is indeed. We get a print edition seven days a week.
Half of what arrives on Saturday is part of the Sunday edition, but there is indeed a Saturday print edition.

Is the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper still publishing a PRINT edition on Saturdays?
