The Roanoke Times front page

The Roanoke Times is the primary newspaper in Southwestern Virginia and is based in Roanoke, Virginia. It is published by Landmark Media Enterprises. The Roanoke Times has an office in Richmond, VA, and maintains a bureau in Christiansburg, VA covering the eastern New River Valley and Virginia Tech.

According to Scarborough?s ?Ranker Report,? produced every six months, The Roanoke Times ranks first in the country in terms of percentage of adults reading a newspaper on weekdays in that newspapers coverage area.

On January 3, 2008, it was reported that the family-owned Landmark Communications, parent company of the Times, may be for sale. A subsequent sale by Landmark Communications of its wildly successful Weather Channel gave rise to reports that the rest of the parent company of The Roanoke Times might be dismembered.
