The current hosts of the show are two hosting pairs: Darja Zgonc & Edi Pucer and Jani Muhič & Petra Krčmar. Weekdays the show is hosted by one pair and the pairs exchange each week. Weekend shows are hosted by individual hosts from each pair.

The show is criticized to have a slight left-wing / liberal bias. It iss often accused by the Slovenian right-wing party SDS, of reporting in favor towards regime in former SFRY, specially towards Slovenian ex-president Milan Kučan.
