History
editThe newspaper originated in 1865 as the Glasgow Times weekly newspaper. It became a daily newspaper in 1953 after merging with the Glasgow Evening Journal.[2] In 1957, the name was changed to the Glasgow Daily Times.
CNHI closed the newspaper as a result of lost revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of many CNHI properties which were closed, merged with sister papers, or reduced in publication frequency. In its last edition, Publisher Bill Hanson announced an intent to continue local news coverage through the existing website. But with the entire staff laid off, how local content would be provided for the site was unclear, and the Times website was eventually set to redirect to the CNHI corporate site.
