Foxtel and The Chronicle team up for amazing offer

YOU'LL notice something very different about the look of The Chronicle today.

But while the look has changed somewhat, one thing hasn't - our dedication to quality news, our town and our readers.

From today we are teaming up with Foxtel and we'll have a special offer for you (details a bit further below).

The Chronicle and Foxtel have common ownership in the form of News Corp and that allows us the opportunity to present you with more quality content.

We're already bringing you strong opinion from Sky News presenters Paul Murray and Andrew Bolt.

Great TV and sport

You'll hear more about the great television available to watch and we're pleased to align our first-rate local sports coverage with that of Foxtel who are leaders in national and international sports coverage.

And what we commit to you is that we will continue to bring you the best in local news like our recent expose of the Millmerran nursing home, in-depth coverage of local business and our Power list 100 rundown of Toowoomba's most powerful.

The Chronicle is read by three out of four residents and we have more than 7000 subscribers.

No surprise when we feature a 120 plus page real estate guide in selling season and we continue the Carnival of Flowers and Chronicle Garden Competition coverage (70 years next year).
