In 1965 the paper was purchased by Consolidated Publishing a local company which also publishes the Anniston Star and several local weeklies.

In 1980 an office was opened in Pell City and the coverage expanded to its current circulation area.
The Daily home is the oldest continuously circulating newspaper in the two counties and one of the oldest in the state. It is the leading paper for the two county area.
Every year the daily home is a major sponsor of the local Pell City Block Party.
