As reported on Mediaweek.co.uk, the revamped sites - thetimes.co.uk and thesundaytimes.co.uk - will replace the combined site, timesonline.co.uk, in June 2010. The move marks the first time The Times newspaper brands have boasted separate sites.

The websites will be accessible for registered users for an introductory four-week period, before paywalls are put in place. Registered users must be 18 and over before they are permitted to access the sites.

The sites boast new features including live interviews on The Times site.

From 1st June, a charge of £1 a day or £2 a week will be introduced for access to both sites. Access to the digital services will be included in the subscriptions of print customers to The Times and The Sunday Times.

James Harding, editor of The Times, said: "The site will include live interviews with the people who shape the news and exclusive video - giving readers the opportunity to get more from their favourite sections. This is just the start. We will continue to add new features to ensure that the innovation that has been central to The Times for 225 years, continues into the future."

Separately, Roger Alton, the former editor of the Observer and the Independent, is to join The Times as joint executive editor.

As Bob Dylan may have said, "Oh, the Times websites, they are a changing".
