Boosted by the sale of radio and television stations, the New York Times Co.’s second quarter revenue jumped to $118.4 million from $59.6 million during the same period a year ago.
But the company’s New England Media Group, which includes the Worcester Telegram and Gazette, saw its advertising revenue fall by 7.6 percent to $100.3 million and its circulation revenue fall by 2.4 percent to $39.2 million, according to the company.
The company’s operating profit decreased 49.8 percent to $43.3 million from $86.2 million, the company said.
Total News Media Group revenues decreased 4.5 percent to $764.2 million from $800.2 million. Advertising revenues decreased 6.9 percent due to weakness in print advertising across the News Media Group, but were partially offset by higher online advertising revenues.
