The publication, formerly distributed in a tab format and then primarily on-line, covered business news in the Washtenaw County and Livingston County areas.
It changed names again in 2005, becoming the Ann Arbor Business Review.
Owned by Advance Publications, it had the same parent company as The Ann Arbor News, a daily newspaper.
The Ann Arbor Business Review drew attention in 2005 when it became the first publication to report that Google was making plans to move its AdWords headquarters to Ann Arbor.
Following the folding of the Ann Arbor News in July 2009 as a daily printed paper, the Ann Arbor Business Review ceased its regular printed offering on August 13 and joined the News as a primarily on-line publication, sharing the AnnArbor.com website and appearing in the AnnArbor.com print edition each Sunday.
