National Press Sunday Circulations - Over 5 Million Copies Sold Every Sunday
National Press Sunday circulation figures show over 5 million copies selling on a Sunday. Despite declines there is still a large chunk of the UK population settling in for a relaxing Sunday catch up.
For many it remains a ritual to have the papers delivered on a Sunday and read them over the breakfast table. That includes the wide range of supplements and colour magazines available too. There are numerous opportunities for advertisers from ROM to Mail Order Classified and travel and money supplements as well as glossy style magazines.
As with weekday newspapers the titles divide into the Popular, Mid-Market and Qualities.
You can also view Saturday circulations and the weekday press data. Saturday is a prime day for response advertisers – see our analysis.

Targeting the Elderly
People are living longer. There are currently over 18.5 million adults over 55. National figures show the median age increasing further so that the proportion of over 55s is increasing too.
But there are also big differences between the 55-65 age group, 65-75 and 75 plus. And that applies to the media they like and consumer. We target this sector for a range of clients. Call us to discuss your options: 01273 206157.
