Inside Edition is a thirty-minute American television syndicated news program, first aired on CBS as an hour-long special on October 9, 1988. It was originally similar to the programs Hard Copy and A Current Affair, but now more closely resembles a condensed version of breakfast television, exclusively with pre-recorded stories rather than any live interviews. It was created by John Tomlin and Bob Young for King World Productions before that company became part of CBS Television Distribution, which also still distributes Entertainment Tonight and The Insider. The show was originally a mix of tabloid crime stories, investigations, and celebrity gossip; now it has become a mix of news, bizarre crime, investigative pieces on consumer scams/safety, pop culture features, celebrity news/gossip, offbeat stories and human interest stories.
The first anchor correspondent of the program was David Frost, who was abruptly replaced after approximately three weeks with Bill O'Reilly. The current anchor correspondent is former Today anchor correspondent Deborah Norville, who took over for O'Reilly in 1995. Steve Kamer has been the show's announcer since its inception.
During the summer months, rebroadcasts of investigative, special interest and offbeat stories from previous editions are often included, with correspondents introducing current general and entertainment news headlines; as such, Norville is typically seen only in pre-taped "tosses" to correspondents to introduce that day's current news stories and in during rebroadcast stories.
On August 29, 2011, Inside Edition began airing in high definition, becoming the last syndicated newsmagazine to do so.
