The Oldham Times goes daily today: here's what you need to know

We launched The Oldham Times as a weekly title just over three years ago when the town lost its only local paper.

And since then, loyal readers have joined us in their thousands ­— both by buying the paper and by visiting our website.

We see close to half a million page views online every month ­— and many more of you pick up a copy in store or have it delivered to your door.

Now we’re bringing back a daily title ­— something a proud town like Oldham deserves.

Pick up a copy today and you could win £500 to pay off your Christmas bills. There's also eight pages of puzzles and loads more to boot.

We will bring you the latest news and sport from the town ­­— as well as a daily TV guide and daily puzzles ­— but each day the paper will be different.

On Mondays we will bring you our special report ­— a two-page feature on the big issues affecting you.

You can read more on our first report ­— fly-tipping and litter ­— on pages 6 and 7 of today's paper.

We will also bring you our free bumper ‘Puzzler’ pullout every Monday.

On Tuesday's, it’s food and drink with our eight-page ‘Taste’ section.

On Wednesdays you can catch up on all the latest trends with our interiors guide ‘Home’.

And on Thursdays, a very special new nostalgia supplement ­— ‘Looking Back’­ — remembering the good old days. While on Fridays, we will bring you ‘Motors’ and ‘Life & Style’.

Finally, Saturday is our uplifting ‘good news’ edition ­— packed with feel-good community stories as well as a jam-packed 24-page seven-day TV guide.

We hope you like the look and feel of the paper as much as we do. If there is anything you want to see more of in the Oldham Times then let us know.

And if you want to get involved with our community news, you can contact our new Community Content Editor Simone O’Kane. We look forward to hearing from you.
