a glance - **Vendor:** BLOX Digital - **Website:** townnews.com ↗ - **Language:** PHP - **License:** Proprietary - **First release:** 2000-01-01 Local news publishing is a market small enough that a handful of platforms carry most of it, and TownNews was built for that market alone. The product is not a general purpose CMS that a newsroom happened to choose. Everything in it, the paywall, the newsletter tooling, the advertising management, the editorial workflow, assumes a publication with a print heritage, a subscriber file and an ad sales team. The company we record as BLOX Digital now trades as BLOX Digital, and it has shipped the platform since 2000, written in PHP and sold as Proprietary software with hosting attached, which puts it among the things a media group buys once and then lives with for a decade. Newsroom software gets replaced slowly, because a migration means moving archives, redirect maps, subscriber records and ad contracts at the same time, and every one of those has someone who will object. A domain carrying the tag is a sign of an ongoing commercial relationship rather than a trial. As of October 2026 we detect TownNews on 1,191 sites, and the shape of that set matters more than its size. Community weeklies, regional dailies, broadcast station sites, the small city papers that survived consolidation. Many of the domains sit under a group owner running many titles from a single contract, so the site count and the customer count are different numbers, and anyone sizing the vendor's business from a crawl should keep the two apart. For a researcher the value is that the tag draws a clean boundary around an industry. Media monitoring services, syndication networks, advertising platforms, journalism funders and civic data projects all need a list of genuine local news outlets, and assembling one from company names and domains is slow and full of false positives. A publishing platform used by nobody except news organizations is a far cheaper filter than any keyword approach. A per domain lookup tells you which system one paper runs. The export tells you the population, which is the question that matters when the goal is coverage of a whole sector rather than a single title. ## Frequently asked questions ### How to download the list of websites using TownNews The complete list of websites using TownNews is available as one structured file.
