The names of the two community newspapers were briefly merged into the Kingsville-Bishop Record-News before ultimately being revised to the Kingsville Record and Bishop News. In 2020, the name was reverted to The Kingsville Record as it transitioned to new ownership, but maintained the same coverage areas. The Kingsville Record publishes once a week on Thursdays.
