The program aired Monday through Thursday between midday and 4pm Sydney time, with an hour break in the program at 1pm (previously a half-hour break only) for a separate but related program To the Point, which focuses on political news and is co-hosted by van Onselen and Kristina Keneally. When Parliament is sitting, PVO NewsDay does not return after To the Point, as Sky News provides live coverage of Parliament question time, followed by an extended edition of PM Agenda.
The program was broadcast from the Sky News centre in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park. Janine Perrett, Kristina Keneally and Samantha Maiden have filled in for van Onselen.
