Broadsheet - a bit broader than usual

The local paper (the Knoxville News-Sentinel) is a broadsheet. But I've never seen this before - not in this paper, not in any paper. The stories on the middle sheets of the first section are laid out so that they straddle the fold down the middle of the page! You could not fold this and read it, not on the actual fold any way. And it's not a printing misalignment - the story on the left-hand side don't run off the edge, and on the right-hand side there's no swath of blank paper. They fit. Also, as you can see in the second photo, the page headers have been collapsed into one that also straddles the fold.

This is just ... weird.
