From October 6, 1945, the "Democratic Printing and Publishing Company" acted as the independent publisher of the Upper Austrian News. On October 8, 1945, other newspapers such as the Tagblatt and the Volksblatt were allowed to appear again.

In 1952 the later President of the National Council, Alfred Maleta, emerged as the sole owner of six shareholders in Oberösterreichische Nachrichten . On January 1, 1955, the newspaper merged with the Tages-Post, which had been published since 1865.
