Beginning of a new era: The St. Petersburg Times becomes the Tampa Bay Times
Sometimes, the best thing you can say about the end of an era, it that is also marks the start of a new one.


I will certainly admit twinges of odd feelings as the newspaper went about the business of officially changing its name from the St. Petersburg Times to the Tampa Bay Times -- a transition which became official on the front page today. We had an internal sale of promotional items with the old logos last month which felt a bit like a wake, and the day the signs were replaced on our downtown headquarters, you felt the sense of something momentous clicking into place."

St. Petersburg Times changing name to Tampa Bay Times on Jan. 1



St. Petersburg Times evolves into Tampa Bay Times


"A letter to readers


Since I started here as a reporter in 1978, I have answered my phone with some version of “St. Pete Times.” I will need to learn a new habit.


On Sunday, Jan. 1, we changed our name to the Tampa Bay Times. The new name reflects the growth of our newspaper and our vision for this region.


This change was a long time coming. For decades, the Times has been reaching north and east from St. Petersburg. Nearly 25 years ago, we launched our Tampa edition; on a typical Sunday, it routinely sells more than 100,000 copies. By a wide margin, the Times is Florida's favorite newspaper.


With that success, our name no longer fit the newspaper or the audience we serve. Three-fourths of Times readers live outside St. Petersburg.
