TheGlasgow Times is an evening tabloid newspaper published Monday to Saturday in the city ofGlasgow, Scotland. CalledThe Evening Times from 1876, it was rebranded as theGlasgow Times on 4 December 2019.[2][3]
The paper, an evening sister paper ofThe Herald, was established in 1876. The paper's slogan is "Nobody Knows Our City Better".
Publication of theEvening Times (and its sister paper) moved to aCharles Rennie Mackintosh building in Mitchell Street in 1868. The building is now theLighthouse, Scotland's Centre for Architecture, Design and the city.
In 1964, publishersGeorge Outram were bought bySir Hugh Fraser. In 1979, the ownership was acquired byTiny Rowland'sLonrho.
On 19 July 1980, the paper moved to offices at 195 Albion Street, a black-fronted building modelled after theBlack Lubyanka building of the Daily Express in London'sFleet Street. The Albion Street building had previously housed theScottish Daily Newsworkers' cooperative from May to November 1975.
A management buy-out in May 1992 created Caledonian Newspapers, later purchased byScottish Television in 1996. After the purchase the TV group renamed itself "Scottish Media Group", which was later shortened to SMG and, in 2008, rebranded asSTV Group plc.
The Glasgow Times andThe Herald are owned byNewsquest (a division ofGannett), which acquired it with the purchase of the publishing arm of the Scottish Media Group in 2003 for £216 million.
The newspaper's vendor stalls became known around the city for the shouts of "Times! Evening Times!" from the vendors. The paper is additionally sold at local shops and offers home delivery in the area.
The Glasgow Times gives its name to an annual pocket-sizedScottish football publication called theWee Red Book, which contains both the following season's fixtures in Scotland's four senior divisions and lists of previous league and cup winners from Scotland,England and Europe.
