The Cape Cod Times is a daily newspaper in Hyannis, Massachusetts, USA covering local news, sports, business, politics and community events.
The newspaper is published seven days a week.
The Times traces its roots to the founding of the Cape Cod Standard-Times in 1936. It was distributed jointly on Cape Cod with the New Bedford Standard-Times until the end of 1970. It was first published as an independent daily for Cape Cod on January 1, 1971 and renamed the Cape Cod Times from September 2, 1975. The Cape Cod Times came into existence to dispel the lingering impression that the Cape Cod Times was still an offshoot of the New Bedford paper. A front-page editorial on the day the newspaper changed its name proclaimed: "We adopted the new name because we want it clearly known that we are and independent Cape Cod newspaper, printed and published on the Cape, by Cape Codders, for Cape Codders." The Times also owns a 175-year-old rival weekly newspaper, the Barnstable Patriot, which it purchased in 2005 for an undisclosed sum. Also in 2005, both newspapers were acquired by Ottaway Community Newspapers. News Corp. acquired The Times when it bought Dow Jones & Company (Ottaway's parent) for $5 billion in late 2007.
Circulation estimate: 35,776
