Everything about The Louisville Times totally explained
The Louisville Times was a
newspaper that was published in
Louisville, Kentucky. It was founded in 1884 as the afternoon counterpart to
The Courier-Journal, the dominant morning newspaper in Louisville and the commonwealth of
Kentucky for many years. The two newspapers published a combined edition (as the
Courier-Journal & Times) on Sundays. Both newspapers were owned and operated by the Bingham family, headed for much of the
20th Century by
patriarch Barry Bingham, Sr..
The
Times, which operated in the shadows of "The C-J" during most of its existence, nevertheless was a testing ground for many new ideas, usually involving design and typography. Another experiment under publisher
Barry Bingham, Jr. was the idea of signed editorials. But like many other afternoon newspapers in America, circulation dwindled over the years as readers' lifestyles changed and television newscasts became more popular.
In May 1986, the
Times and the
Courier-Journal were purchased by
Gannett. At the time of purchase, the
Times had a circulation of about 125,000, versus the
Courier-Journal daily circulation rate of about 175,000 and Sunday rate of 323,000. By January of 1987, it was announced that the publication of the
Times would cease in favor of afternoon editions of the
Courier-Journal. The last issue of the
Times was published on Saturday, February 14, 1987.
