London, July 9 (ANI): The announcement that the Britain's popular Sunday tabloid News of the World, owned by Rupert Murdoch, would publish its final edition this weekend has sparked rumors that The Sun, another Murdoch-owned newspaper, would start publishing a Sunday edition to replace it.
The Sun currently runs Monday to Saturday.
The registration of the online domain name TheSunOnSunday.co.uk, two days before News of the World's collapse was announced, appears to prove the rumors correct, CBS News reports.
Daisy Dunlop, a spokeswoman for News International, the parent company for News of the World and The Sun, has however, denied rumors of The Sun's expansion.
"It's not true at the moment," she said.
But on Twitter news of the recently registered website was spreading. But the site's owner hasn't been revealed, the report said.
News of the World's shuttering came while the newspaper was mired in a phone hacking scandal that sparked a police investigation, prompted advertisers to abandon the newspaper, and a prominent veterans group to cut off ties with it. (ANI)
