The Independent on Sunday was the biggest circulation loser among the national Sunday titles – dropping 18.3 per cent year on year to 166,071 copies.
The IoS has slightly reduced the number of bulk give away copies from 39,729 a year ago to 34,110 in November.
A year ago the IoS was still feeling some circulation benefits from a relaunch in June 2007 – and an associated increase in marketing.
All the Sunday papers appear to be feeling the effects of a marked decrease in marketing spending – and less free CD and DVD give-aways in particular.

Despite no major marketing promotions – the Sunday Times managed a 0.8 per cent circulation increase, possibly feeling the Obama-effect. The US president elect featured prominently on Sunday Times front pages in November.
