The Daily Times is a daily newspaper published in Blantyre, Malawi. It is one of the oldest newspapers in the country, founded in 1895 by the Central African Planter. Around 1900, it was rebranded to Central African Times, a weekly publication and later to Nyasaland Times. With the Malawian independence in 1964, it simply became The Times (then published bi-weekly), and finally the Daily Times in 1972.

The publisher is Blantyre Newspapers Limited (BNL), a subsidiary of Blantyre Printing & Publishing Company Ltd., which publishes four sister newspapers: The Daily Times (Monday-Friday), and the weekly The Weekend Times (Friday afternoon), Malawi News (Saturday), and Sunday Times (Sunday).

In 2013, Blantyre Printing & Publishing Company Ltd established Malawi's first independent private Free-To-Air television station, Times Television (TTV). The MISA award-winning TV station provides local content, stretching over arts, entertainment, sports and current affairs. Times Television is available on Dstv channel 296, Malawi Digital Broadcasting Network Limited (MDBNL) Platform CH 805, GoTV CH 91, Zuku CH 46, Azam TV CH 381, and StarSat.

In 2015, Blantyre Printing & Publishing Company Ltd established Times Radio, a sister company of Times Television. It broadcasts nationwide, mostly in chichewa. On 29 July 2020, Times Radio had a mix up with the UK-based radio station of the same name during their interview with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Blantyre Printing & Publishing Company Ltd is a 360 degree media house consisting of Times Radio Blantyre Newspapers Limited (BNL) and Times Television. The media house now called "Times 360".
