History

Founded by Robert Smiley and a partner, the paper was sold in 1877 to William Southam, who founded the Southam newspaper chain and made the
Spectator the first of the chain. The Southam chain was sold in 1998 to Conrad Black, who in turn sold off The
Hamilton Spectator to Sun Media. In 1999 the Spectator was sold
for a third time to Torstar
Corporation.
