Saturday Night (magazine)
Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAT : Saturday Night (magazine)
Saturday Night is a Canadian general interest magazine. It was founded in Toronto, Ontario in 1887.
The publication was first established as a weekly broadsheet newspaper. The editor, Edmund E. Sheppard, was prevented from editing a daily newspaper due to an earlier libel action. Additionally, Sabbath laws in Toronto prevented publication on Sunday. So, in its first years, the paper was restricted to being a weekly publication, published on Saturdays.
Saturday Night has been through a number of owners, formats, and frequencies of publication. It has ceased publication altogether on a number of occasions. It is presently owned by St. Joseph Media, and the editor is Gary Ross. On October 20, 2005, St. Joseph Media announced that publication of Saturday Night would be "suspended" due to insufficient advertiser support. It is unclear if publication will be resumed in the future.
