The Sun was first published on November 1, 1971, the Monday after the demise of the Toronto Telegram, a conservative broadsheet newspaper.
As of 2003, the Sun reportedly had a Monday through Saturday circulation of 200,000 papers and Sunday circulation of 400,000.
The Sun is owned by Sun Media, a subsidiary of Quebecor.
The Toronto Sun's format has given rise to sister Sun tabloids in major markets across Canada, namely the Edmonton Sun , the Calgary Sun and the Ottawa Sun . The Winnipeg Sun was originally launched by independent interests, only later coming under common ownership to the Toronto Sun and subsequently eliciting a redesign in Sun Media style.
