According to figures recently released by the Texas Department of Commerce, Mission has shown a 67% increase in population since 1990. The total population of Mission is now estimated to be over 53,000, and this figure does not include the many smaller communities around Mission served by the Progress Times.

Local News Appeal
The Progress Times is the best advertising buy for businesses in the Mission area. Our local news coverage of city, school and local government as it affects Mission and the surrounding area has won extensive readership both in and around Mission.
We have found that people are most interested in the news that affects them the most. That’s the local news. People read the Progress Times - and that’s good news for your business.

Affordable Rates
What makes the best advertising buy for Mission businesses even better is low advertising rates. We invite you to compare our rates with other area media. You'll find our rates are very competitive.

Coverage of Market Area
Despite the high cost of distribution, we have stuck with delivery to the many, many small communities surrounding Mission and west to the Hidalgo County line. Nobody but the Progress Times can offer you that kind of coverage. We have worked hard to earn our current reputation as the leading weekly newspaper in our area.

Matched Circulation Area (No Waste)
When you advertise in the Progress Times there is no waste. We don’t charge you for distribution in areas that won’t do your business any good. Instead, we target the area you want to reach - matched circulation area for your Mission market area.
