Metro
Metro International in Scandinavia started a trend for freesheat papers distributed daily to workers in populated area and this idea was brought the the UK by Associated Newspapers who also decided to use the Metro name for their venture. However when Associated Newspapers wanted to launch their Metro in Manchester, GMG also decided to launch a freesheet daily paper in the city under the Metro name, with the argument that GMG's Manchester Metro News had been established in the region for many years.
