  The Casco Bay Weekly was a free alternative weekly newspaper published in Portland, Maine from May 26, 1988 to 2004. It was similar to other alternative newspapers such as The Village Voice and Boston Phoenix.
  
  In 1990, Dodge Morgan, who also owned the Maine Times newspaper, purchased Casco Bay Weekly from Mogul Media Inc. At the time, CBW had a circulation of approximately 20,000 entirely in the Greater Portland area. The paper struggled with declining ad revenues after the establishment of another alternative newspaper, the Portland Phoenix, in 1999.
  
  The paper's final editor, Chris Busby, founded The Bollard in 2005.
