The Times (Pawtucket)

[2] The Pawtucket newspaper was founded as an afternoon daily, The Evening Times, in 1885, by George O.

[3] It was sold in December 1957 to New England Newspapers Inc., a forerunner of Ingersoll Publications, which later acquired the competitor The Call of Woonsocket.

In 2007, a new company, RISN, formed to purchase Journal Register's Rhode Island properties, including The Times.

All of these properties were sold for $8.3 million to RISN in early 2007 by Journal Register Company.
