Fiercely independent Since its birth in 1994, the Champion has been proud of its ability to offer a real alternative to other newspaper titles in the region.
It’s the people that make any business successful …
With its teams firmly based in the area, the Champion swiftly and consistently responds and reacts to what is happening in North Liverpool, Sefton and West Lancashire. No ‘remote’ management or overseas support teams here. No time zone problems or delays either. The award winning editorial, sales, distribution, production and administrative teams all operate from Southport.

Where it all began … The former Southport Globe (renamed from the original
Southport Star) was sold by Reed Regional Newspapers to a multinational publisher in 1994 and immediately closed. The local directors and staff of the former owner resolved to continue to independently produce a quality newspaper for the area, blocking a monopoly. Within four days of the business being closed – and against a backdrop of extreme competitive resistance – the first edition of the Champion was delivered. That spirit and determination has become the foundation of Champion Media Group and is the trademark of this business. The first edition of the Champion in March 1994

Betta Living
We are pleased to have seen such a positive reaction from the people of Southport to the opening of the new Primark store, as advertised in the Champion. Everyone involved with the store is delighted at the number of shoppers who have been attracted to the store.
I would like to thank you for the prominent coverage your newspaper gave us for the Lancaster Lipstick give away. The first 20 lipsticks had gone before lunch time, on the day your newspaper came out, Just goes to show that people really are reading the Champion.
Betta Living is delighted with the excellent response we had to the ‘Win a Fitted Bedroom’ competition recently published in the Champion. We had over 500 entries personally delivered into our Southport store by competition entrants. This response clearly demonstrates the Champion is widely read across its circulation area.
— Breege O’Donoghue, Director
Dobbies A recent reader offer published in the Champion resulted in our Southport store giving away over eight hundred pairs of secateurs. Each reader who brought the coupon from the newspaper into the store was given a pair of secateurs with a retail value of £6 free of charge. Within four days of publication we had exhausted stock. A truly outstanding response.
— Andy Tyas, General Manager

It’s fair to say that this worked a treat, we got an amazing response from local customers and the shop has been very busy ever since.
— Michelle Sargeant, Area Manager
