Founded as Family Weekly, it was purchased in 1985 by the Gannett Company, which restructured it as a sister publication to Gannett's flagship newspaper USA Today and distributed it in the Sunday editions of participating local newspapers, At its peak, USA Weekend was the country's second-largest national magazine supplement (behind Parade) and was distributed to more than 800 newspapers nationwide. Gannett ceased publication after the December 28, 2014, issue, citing a decline in print advertising and a company effort to minimize duplicative offerings.
