It's TIME!! LB Register Ready to Rumble with P-T.

This morning, newspaper racks in Long Beach had a new offering.  The Long Beach Register's first edition was published today, enveloping copies of the OC Register, and putting pressure on the LA News Group to upgrade the rapidly-declining Press-Telegram.  Hopefully, that will mean more unique content in the P-T, and less of the Daily News.

The Register folks say the website for the LB Register will be up and running in September.

As far as Sports coverage, former P-T columnist and LBSU Baseball writer Bob Keisser is the LB Register's sports editor, and has already posted a brief discussion with AD Vic Cegles, and a preview of the fall sports. 

In response, the P-T has brought in Gazette Sports writers Mike Guardabascio and JJ Fiddler as their top Prep writers, and will likely team up with Robert Morales covering 49er sports this season.  They say the Gazette content will continue, as well.

All this means (hopefully) more and better local coverage of LBSU athletics.  Good for us!

Now...if the Register could just get rid of that darn paywall for us folks beyond the Orange Curtain...
