Tiempo was first published on 17 May 1982.[1][2] Its founder was Antonio Asensio Pizarro,[1] who also established Grupo Zeta in 1976.[3] Julián Lago was the first editor-in-chief of the magazine of which headquarters is in Madrid.[2] Although it was started as political magazine, its focus on politics reduced in June 1987.[2] Then it began to frequently cover news about culture, entertainment, economy and sports.[2]

The magazine was published weekly by Diciones Zeta, S.A. or Grupo Zeta on Fridays.[1][4][5] The company also published other publications, including Interviu, a magazine,[6][7] and El Periódico de Catalunya, a daily newspaper.[8]

Tiempo focused on news about social issues.[1] Its target audience was people of high and upper-medium social class from all parts of Spain[4][9] and 67% of its readers were male.[9] The magazine had a council of readers.[10] The magazine had a centrist political leaning[11] and was a sensationalist publication.[12] The US Department of State also described the magazine as a centrist publication in 2000.[13] It was also argued that the weekly had a left-liberal political stance.[1]

Its last issue was published in January, 2018.[14]
