WYVEX MEDIA and Scottish Provincial Press are delighted to confirm they have reached agreement on the merger of the Lochaber News into a new-look West Highland edition of The Oban Times and the transfer of Lochaber Life magazine to Wyvex Media.
Technological and economic changes have meant that Lochaber has increasingly found it difficult to sustain two local newspapers and both parties have been engaged in positive and constructive talks to ensure that a strong local publishing presence remains a vital part of the community. Both companies agree that Wyvex’ closer geographical ties and strength in the market make it the sensible choice to continue to provide local news and services to the people of Lochaber.
As an indication of this commitment, Wyvex has recently strengthened both its editorial and commercial presence in Lochaber and will shortly relocate its current office to a high street presence in Fort William.
