Biography"The Toronto Star is a Canadian broadsheet daily newspaper. The Toronto Star is owned by Toronto Star Newspapers Limited, a subsidiary of Torstar Corporation and part of Torstar's Daily News Brands division. The Star (originally known as the Evening Star and then the Toronto Daily Star) was created in 1892 by striking Toronto News printers and writers, led by future Mayor of Toronto and social reformer Horatio Clarence Hocken, who became the newspaper's founder, along with another future mayor, Jimmy Simpson. From 1910 to 1973, the Star published a weekend supplement, the Star Weekly. In 1971, the newspaper was renamed the Toronto Star and moved to a modern International-Style office tower at One Yonge Street by Queens Quay. The original Star building at 80 King Street West was demolished to make room for First Canadian Place. The new building originally housed the paper's presses From 1922 to 1933, the Star was also a radio broadcaster on its station CFCA, broadcasting on a wavelength of 400 meters (749.48 kHz), whose coverage was complementary to the paper's reporting." -- Wikipedia
