Moahr puzzles at CHNI!

Or, at least, at my local CNHI installment.

Wonder why?

Were people bitching about the amount of Texas Trib content? Bitching about seeing three days worth of comics at one time because it hasn't gotten a clue about not doing that and overvaluing its fishwrap at $1.25 Tuesday and $1.75 Saturday, higher than places like Bowie and Decatur which still have more than fishwrap?

Were they bitching about all those Alabama ads (without knowing why they're there)?

In any case, moahr puzzles, as teased on the banner of the Dec. 9 issue, is "the answer."

And, having seen the first new installment, it's apparently to keep from running more and more of those CHNI corporate-wide prebuilt pages, though the Dec. 12 Register still has one of those, plus this new full page of puzzles for four pages of puzzles or puzzles/comics. Add in it still having one of those other prebuilt pages, and that's five pages of birdcage filler on a 10-pager. 

Update, May 7: The prices are now $1.50/$2.00. And, the Tuesday puzzle may be hit and miss. The current Tuesday issue had two of the prebuilt infographic pages.

NOT the answer? Nobody biting on the "get paid to write sports for us" ongoing house ad ZERO basketball coverage during the non-district season (and who knows after that)? Going on five weeks since the start of hoops at the 4A level and nope, still nothing.

With an editor AND a staff writer (and, AFAIK, pages built at a pagination hub), they could do better.

Back to the header, though. What they need is FEWER puzzles, as well as more editorial content. And, of course, more ads.

As for CNHI in general? I remember when the Snooze touted "moahr puzzles" as "the answer four-plus years ago. Shock me that CNHI is that far behind the curve.
