The OC Post launched on August 21, 2006 as Orange County, California's first new daily newspaper in decades. Chartered by Freedom Communications, who also own and operate the Orange County Register, it is an attempt to condense a standard newspaper into a more "modern" tabloid format, as has become common in cities across the United Kingdom and Europe.
Unlike other new tabloid style newspapers throughout the US, the OC Post is charging for its publication whether for home delivery or newsstand. The newsstand price is 25 cents, with yearly subscriptions available for $19.99.
OC Post has been charged with littering Orange County gated communities with unwanted copies of its paper scattered about in white plastic bags. It has been reported that houses have many copies of the unwanted items, collected over several days, strewn about their yards and driveways, inspite of repeated requests to cease delivery.
