El Heraldo de México is a Mexican national daily newspaper published in Mexico City. Initially founded in 1965, after a 14-year absence of the name, the newspaper was relaunched on May 2, 2017.
History[]
Original El Heraldo de México[]
The original newspaper was launched by the Alarcón family on November 9, 1965.[1] The newspaper came on the scene as a technological leader, with a Goss Urbanite press and eventually a custom-built facility in the Colonia Doctores neighborhood.[1] It was printed in color, a rarity for Mexican papers of the time, which often remained in black-and-white for several more decades.[2] It was often considered loyal to governments in power.[3]
The newspaper had a traditional emphasis on society and entertainment news.[2] It sponsored the El Heraldo de México Awards, an annual media and sports award, given out between 1966 and 2002.
Diario Monitor[]
In October 2003, José Gutiérrez Vivó, host and president of Grupo Monitor, associated with the Monitor radio newscast and Mexico City's Radio Monitor 1320/1560, acquired El Heraldo de México and its sister daily, El Heraldo de Puebla. The Mexico City newspaper became known as Diario Monitor on March 8, 2004.[4] In 2007, El Heraldo de Puebla, which was not affected by the new name, was sold off to local businessman Ricardo Henaine.[4]
Monitor experienced financial difficulties in the mid-late 2000s, stemming from contract issues with Grupo Radio Centro, that ultimately claimed the entire business. The final issue of Diario Monitor was printed on February 13, 2009.[4]
Relaunch[]
In late 2016, rumors began to surface about the relaunch of a new El Heraldo de México.[5] Those rumors became reality on May 2, 2017, when the new newspaper made its debut with a run of 60,000 copies.[6] The relaunched newspaper is owned by Grupo Andrade, one of the largest sellers of new cars in the country, and Ricardo and Roberto Henaine.[6]
The new paper is published in 40 pages during the week, 16 pages on Saturday and 21 on Sunday.[7]
Broadcasting[]
On June 16, 2019, Andrade announced the acquisition of two FM radio stations from Grupo Imagen, XHDL-FM in Mexico City and XHAV-FM in Guadalajara, pending IFT approval.[8] Later that year, it began broadcasting Heraldo TV by leasing XHTRES-TDT Mexico City from Imagen.
It also operates eight more stations: XHRRT-FM 92.5 MHz in Tampico, Tamaulipas, XHREC-FM 104.9 MHz in Villahermosa, Tabasco, XEPE-AM 1700 kHz in Tijuana, Baja California, XHO-FM 93.5 MHz HD4 in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, XHEOQ-FM 91.7 MHz HD4 in Reynosa, Tamaulipas and XHSP-FM 99.7 MHz in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
