Overview
''The Times'' of South Africa was a daily printed newspaper that was delivered free to 137,054 (according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations statistics) ''Sunday Times'' subscribers five days a week. Tabloid in size, it was South Africa's first totally interactive newspaper, published in tandem with the ''TimesLIVE'' website. In ''The Times's'' newsroom, reporters worked alongside multimedia producers and photographers to produce content for the newspaper and the website. ''The Times'' was also available for purchase at a cover price of R4.00 in limited quantities, later at R5.50. The last editor of ''The Times'' was Andrew Trench. In November 2017, the then owner of ''The Times'', Tiso Blackstar Group, announced its intention to shut down the print version of the paper. It was replaced with a premium digital-only daily edition, ''Times Select'', in early 2018, while ''TimesLIVE'' would continue to supply free content. ''Times Select'' was later renamed ''Sunday Times Daily'' to align it more closely with its print counterpart, the ''Sunday Times'', the biggest Sunday newspaper in South Africa. The ''TimesLIVE'' website publishes free breaking news, sport, entertainment and more, as well as video, audio and photo stories. It also hosts all ''Times Select'', ''Sunday Times Daily'' and ''TshisaLIVE'' (entertainment and celebrity news) digital content. In 2019, Arena Holdings acquired all the media assets of Tiso Blackstar for R1.05 billion.Supplements
