I doubt they can call it The Sunday Sun as there's been a paper of that name in the North-East from the Newcastle Chronicle/Journal stable.
Re the Press being told of NoW closure before the staff, that doesn't surprise me one bit, given the state of HR in the industry atm.

Yes, I wondered about the Sunday Sun and the name conflict, but it seems they're eyeing up "The Sun On Sunday"

Sheffield has a local paper called the Star, it doesn't seem to pose a problem.
