The channel aired utility info, such as traffic and airport weather. Every hour it broadcast news (politic, international, sports, weather), in a like-EuroNews format (no presenters, just image and sound).
In 2011 TVR operated a rebranding of the channel and a significant programme change. Then it had a more dynamic programme, with news every hour and debates in between, competing the other news channels, Antena 3 and Realitatea.
On August 15, 2012 it was relaunched under a new name: TVR News.
