The Tri-County Times is one of two semiweekly newspapers in Genesee County, Michigan. But while the Flint Journal serves primarily most of Genesee County, as far south as Grand Blanc and is published Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, the Times serves the greater Fenton area, and is published Wednesdays and Sundays. It has been owned by Rockman Communications since its establishment on April 3, 1994.
While the Journal was originally a daily newspaper, the Times started out as a weekly newspaper. The Wednesday edition was introduced in September 1999. Its current offices and printing facilities on 256 N. Fenway Drive in Fenton were built in 1997. Rockman Communications also owns Tri-County Wireless, which provides wireless internet services. Until 2009 it was the largest semiweekly newspaper in Michigan.
The Times' official website provides news updates online on a daily basis. Many stories are posted online before being placed into the Wednesday or Sunday print editions.
The current circulation as of November 2009 is 13,825 on Wednesdays, 24,875 on Sundays.
