On weekdays, at 6:45am and on the hour and half hour between 7am & 9am, RTL Onbijtnieuws (RTL Breakfast News) bulletins are broadcast on RTL4. An hourly daytime service of 15-minute bulletins airs on RTL7 between 9am and 5:30pm, featuring business news round-ups from RTL-Z. The 4pm bulletin is also broadcast on RTL4.
Seven days a week, three evening bulletins air on RTL4 in the form of a short 6pm bulletin, a main evening 20-minute programme at 7:30pm and a 10-minute late night bulletin at varying times. The Sunday edition of the 7:30pm news also features a short review of the past week's events.
