In the last times, even Ottó Gajdics edited it, now it only exists on a rooftop in Baross Square.

Two neon signs remain on a building at Baross Square, advertising products that no longer exist. The last issue of Esti Hírlap was published on November 11, 1996, marking the end of its run. The newspaper, which had a socialist tabloid style, was known for its afternoon releases and street sales in Budapest. Despite attempts to continue, financial difficulties led to its official suspension, and it never resumed publication. The paper's last editor was Lőkös Zoltán, and Gajdics Ottó was among the notable staff. The Esti Hírlap's legacy includes its distinctive logo, attributed to various designers, and it survived the regime change but not the financial pressures of the late 1990s.
