Founded on 25 July 1941,[4] they were the successor of the Falangista newspaper Azul,[n. 1] the official organ of Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS in the province of Córdoba.
[4] For this reason, the newspaper belonged to the Cadena de Prensa del Movimiento [es] during Francoist Spain.
[7] Following the death of Franco, Córdoba began a period of dependence on the public body, Medios de Comunicación Social del Estado.
On February 1, 1984, the State put the newspaper on sale, where it was acquired by a private company with links to Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE)[8] who until that time had served as principle editors of La Voz de Córdoba —and which would cease publication the same year that the organization acquired Córdoba —.[n.
[10] Until 2000, the newspaper enjoyed an absolute hegemony in Córdoba, having in 1999 a market share of 67%,[11] having no rival publications in the province.
