Should have never given it away for free in the first place. No one wants to pay for milk when they've been getting it for free.
Someone has to pay for Pancakes' food allowance. They're passing the expenses on to the consumers. Thanks Obama.
There 'local news' sucks *ss anyway which would be the only reason to go there. It was difficult to find things you knew should be there and they seem to have the most r****ded search engine on the planet Search for something that happened yesterday and some BS for 3 months ago is the 1st thing up . .. . then cannot find the story from yesterday at all I gave up on it a while ago . . but when back about 1~2 months ago .. . . and well . . . it was the same ole isht.

HoustonChronicle.com also will anchor our new membership program, Star Access. In addition to the premium website, Star Access offers members entry into unique experiences, exclusive events and special sweepstakes. You'll hear more about this in the weeks to come.

Good, Chron.com was crap anyways. Hopefully the really ****ty stuff will move over to the premium section.
right, i got that... hoping the annoying stuff from chron.com moves to the premium section and chron sticks to local Houston news...
gotchya....miss read it. I agree, there is a lot of unnecessary crap on that site. Local News + Local sports coverage only.
If they're smart, they will move Sciguy to the premium site, because he's the only reason to ever visit the Chronic.
The 'reporting' on there is atrocious. Most of the time the 'breaking' stories are regurgitated from News 2 Houston or some other site with little spell/grammar check and leaving out key information from the story. If that's what they're expecting people to pay for they're crazy.
Fishwrap. I still subscribe Wed-Sun, but it's only because I like to see my name in the paper.....:grin:
