The show usually has a guest in the first hour, including a large portion of the time set for audience talkback. The second hour also has guests, but without a talkback section followed by "What The Papers Say", when the major Australian newspapers reveal their main stories for the next day. The third hour usually involves a quiz named "The Challenge", while the fourth hour includes another chance for audience feedback in the "Issue of the Day", followed by a book reading.
In 2007 the popular "Not the Nightly News" segment was discontinued.
