EnglishWhat Is Manchester Times?
Updated
Manchester Times (manchestertimes.com) is a local news website serving Manchester and Coffee County, Tennessee. It publishes community journalism across news, sports, opinion, arts and entertainment, living, and obituaries, alongside a local weather forecast. Some content sits behind a subscription, so the site is best understood as a local paper with both free-to-read headlines and paid access rather than a purely open news source.
What the site covers
The homepage organizes content into clearly labeled sections, each with its own reporting:
| Section | What you'll find there |
|---|---|
| News | Local events and public safety, such as a water main break that closed Coffee County Middle School and New Union Elementary and triggered a Boil Water Advisory |
| Sports | Coffee County school athletics, including golf, volleyball, and cross country coverage |
| Opinion | Columns and staff-written commentary |
| Arts & Entertainment | Local music and community events, such as the Southeast Bluegrass Banjo Championship |
| Living | Features on local businesses and lifestyle topics |
| Obituaries | Community death notices |
Articles carry bylines from staff writers, and the site also lists "Featured Publications" — a sign that it functions as part of a small local publishing operation rather than a national outlet.
Weather and local utility
The homepage includes a live weather panel for Manchester, showing current temperature, hourly forecasts, rain chance, wind speed, and pressure, with a "last updated" timestamp. If you need a quick local conditions check for the Manchester area, this is available directly on the front page without navigating elsewhere.
Access and subscriptions
The site surfaces "Subscribe" links pointing to a plans page (manchestertimes.com/plans). That indicates paid subscription options exist, but the specific prices, tiers, and what each unlocks are not stated in the available material — check the plans page directly for current terms. Headlines and section summaries are visible on the homepage, while full articles may require a subscription.
When Manchester Times is the right source
- You want hyperlocal coverage of Manchester and Coffee County, Tennessee — school closures, local sports results, community events, and public notices.
- You need obituaries or public safety updates for that specific area.
- You're checking local weather for Manchester.
- You're looking for national or international news — this is not that kind of site; its scope is the local community.
For anyone outside Coffee County or without interest in that area's local affairs, the site offers little beyond its weather panel. For residents and those following the region, it is a direct source for the kind of municipal and school-district news that larger outlets typically don't cover.
