The Orange County Register, which has called Santa Ana home for 111 years, will move to Anaheim next year, the paper announced Wednesday. The move to a location near Angel Stadium comes after Digital First Media purchased the Register and its sister paper, the Riverside Press-Enterprise, from Freedom Communications in a March bankruptcy auction for $49.8 million. The deal included the paper’s Santa Ana real estate, later flipped to Santa Ana developer Mike Harrah for a reported $34 million. The owner of the Los Angeles Times had also bid on the Register at the bankruptcy auction, but its offer was derailed by antitrust concerns. The Register and Press-Enterprise are now part of Digital First’s Southern California News Group, which includes the Los Angeles Daily News, the Daily Breeze and the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
