''[[The Huntsville Times]]'' has been Huntsville's only daily newspaper since 1996, when the ''Huntsville News'' closed. Before then, the ''News'' was the morning paper, and the ''Times'' was the afternoon paper until 2004. The ''Times'' has a weekday circulation of 60,000, which rises to 80,000 on Sundays. Both papers were owned by the [[Advance Publications|Newhouse chain]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Beyerle |first=Dana |date=October 15, 1990 |title=Times editor defends 'Alabama Bound' piece |pages=4–5 |work=The Huntsville Times |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=VkoeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=AMcEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5812%2C1923481 |access-date=December 24, 2022}}</ref>

In May 2012, Advance Publications, owner of the Times, announced that the Times would become part of a new company called the Alabama Media Group, along with the other three newspapers and two websites owned by Advance. As part of the change, the newspapers moved to a three-day publication schedule, with print editions available only on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The Huntsville Times and its sister papers publish news and information seven days a week on [[AL.com]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 30, 2022 |title=Alabama Media Group is the Chamber's 2022 Minority Business Advocate |url=https://mobilechamber.com/2022/09/alabama-media-group-is-the-chambers-2022-minority-business-advocate/ |access-date=December 24, 2022 |website=Mobile Chamber |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Huntsville, AL {{!}} Alabama Local News, Breaking News, Sports & Weather |url=https://www.al.com/ |access-date=December 24, 2022 |website=AL.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=May 24, 2012 |title=Alabama Media Group, a new digitally focused company, will launch this fall with expanded online coverage and enhanced three-day-a-week newspapers |url=https://www.al.com/al/2012/05/alabama_media_group_a_new_digi.html |access-date=December 24, 2022 |website=AL.com |language=en}}</ref> As of 2023, print editions have stopped production.
