Ala-based EWTN acquires National Catholic Register

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — EWTN Global Catholic Network, founded in a monastery 
garage in Alabama 30 years ago, is acquiring the 83-year-old National Catholic 
Register newspaper.
The deal announced Wednesday did not involve any cash. Instead, the broadcasting 
operation said it will take over the Register's operating expenses and 
future subscriptions.
The Register has struggled for decades. A group of investors and the Legionaries 
of Christ, a Catholic congregation, purchased the paper in 1995 to keep it 
from closing.
The acquisition is part of EWTN's attempts to expand its news presence in the 
worldwide multimedia market serving Roman Catholics. EWTN was founded in 
suburban Birmingham in 1981 by Mother Angelica and now provides multimedia 
services globally.
The Register is EWTN's first venture into traditional publishing.
