There competition, The Portland Press Herald (later to become a sister organization), delivered in the mornings and they didn't want to compete with their large circulation numbers.

[4][5] In 2007, The Times Record was bought by Sample News Group, an organization that owned the Journal Tribune in Biddeford, Maine, as well as a string of papers in Pennsylvania.

In the preceding years, when RFB Enterprises purchased the company, the paper's website was transferred to the Portland Press Herald's online pay service.
