Current formation and future
In October 2017, The Oxford Times announced the cessation of the Banbury Cake after more than forty years of publication but would publish news via its website.[1] Banbury Cake now redirects to Oxford Mail.[2] The paper had distributed copies with a circulation of 53,000 in the 1980s. That figure dropped to a print distribution of just over 13,000 copies by 2013.[3]
