Changes are coming to The Commercial Appeal beginning Monday.

We're returning the comics and the television listings to the M section.

An improved, redesigned weather map is moving to the back of the Sports section, and the digest of sports news will return to Page 2 of the section, along with the sports TV-radio listings.

We will no longer carry classified ads on Mondays and Tuesdays, but in the back of the Sports section, we will publish all legal ads and the comics that always run on the cover of the section.

These changes are our response to readers' concerns about the placement of regular features and to declining demand for classified ads on Mondays and Tuesdays."

That last sentence is supposed to be their reason, or is it their excuse?

This is another sign that ad dollars are down...
