Belo executives specifically shifted the newspapers to afternoon delivery to compete with The Dallas Times-Herald, the rival of the chain's flagship Dallas Morning News, according to Judith Garrett Segura, author of Belo: From Newspapers to New Media She claims the newspapers were not profitable for roughly two years.

These newspapers would operate and be published relatively independently until the late 1980s. Under increased advertising pressures and laws prohibiting media monopolies in urban markets, the newspapers were ultimately absorbed into The Dallas Morning News.
