The CN Group Limited is an independent local media business based in Carlisle which operates in three different media fields.

The company was formerly known as the Cumbrian Newspapers Group Ltd but changed its name to reflect the fact that is no longer primarily a newspaper publisher. One of its principal subsidiaries is still known as Cumbrian Newspapers Ltd though.

The company can trace its origins to the founding of the Carlisle Patriot newspaper in 1815 which eventually became the Cumberland News.

Radio

The CN Group owns three radio stations:

The company formerly owned the Touch Radio Network stations in the Midlands outright until selling them to Quidem in June 2009. The exception to this was the Banbury arm of Touch, which was sold separately to a private consortium and rebranded as Banbury Sound in 2009. They also had a shareholding in Carlisle-based CFM Radio, holding a further stake in neighbouring Border Television.

It also previously owned Mid FM in Northern Ireland, relaunched as Six FM by its new owners as well as Oak 107 FM in Loughborough, which was purchased by the Lincs FM Group in 2007 and was subsequently merged with an existing license of the new owners in nearby Hinckley.

Publishing

CN Group publishes daily and weekly newspapers and magazines for Cumbria, Northumberland, Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders.
