History
editOn 19 September 1991, SBS defined that it would air its main news bulletin at 8pm, an attempt to compete against the "frontal confrontation" between KBS News 9 and MBC Newsdesk, which occupied the 9pm timeslot.[1] On 23 March 1992, SBS News Show at 10pm became the weekend edition of SBS News 8 due to low ratings.[2] By 2003, it had won several awards, among them its coverage of the scandal of Vice-President Yang Gil-Seul, usage of Agent Orange in the DMZ, corruption at the Korean Navy in 1993, among others.[3]
MBC Newsdesk suffered a crisis in viewers in the first half of 2020, causing SBS News 8 to gain more viewers.[4]
Segments
editCurrent segments
editSince 21 September 2020, most of the segments (except the sports news and weather) has been placed on the second part, nicknamed S-Pick.
- Mobile Coverage - this seems to be a segment similar to MBC Newsdesk's Camera Launch, KBS News 9's Tracing 1234 and JTBC Newsroom's Close Camera where reporters cover stories in-depth based on reports from citizens.
- What is The Truth? - this is a segment where Lee Kyung-won appears in-studio to fact-check statements given by politicians or important events that happened within the country. Towards the end of the segment, they decide if the statement is true through 5 categories: Facts (사실), Almost True (거의 사실), True & False (사실 & 거짓), Almost Untrue (거의 거짓) and Lies (거짓). A mascot named Factkio (팩트키오) also appears during the broadcast.
- Panda to The End - a segment similar to Newsroom's Exploration Plus, it's a recurring segment where Kim Jong-won cover a certain story in-depth. The segment uses a panda as its mascot.
- Healthy Life - a segment where medical reporter Cho Dong-chan analyzes issues related to health.
- Cultural Line - a Friday-only segment where reporters do stories related to entertainment, education and other aspects of culture.
- SBS Sports News - this is a segment where Kim Yoon-sang (on weekdays) and Lee Yoon-ah (on weekends) present sports news. On 30 March 2020, Lee Seung-gi made an appearance towards the end of the segment as a part of their SBS intern special episode of Master in the House. This episode also showed Cha Eun-woo hosting the radio broadcast, while Yang Se-hyung served as Lee's backup in case of unexpected circumstances. Shin Sung-rok and Kim Dong-hyun helped out in the production side.
- SBS Weather - the weather segment presented by Nam Yoo-jin on weekdays and Saturdays, and Yang Tae-bin on Sundays.
Former segments
edit- Inside the Stock Market - it was a compilation of eight economy-related stories where reporters from the economy and securities team also show the stock market trades through computer graphics.
- Economic Indicators - it is similar with Inside the Stock Market above, only aired on weekdays.
- Today in History - it shows a significant historical event that happened that day.
- Issue Report: An In-depth Look/Field Report: Going Without Reservations/We Have a Tip! - established on 23 March 2019, these three segments seem to be similar to Mobile Coverage and Panda to the End.

Regional newscasts outside Seoul
editLocal SBS affiliates outside Seoul cutaway from the national 8 NEWS during the second half of the program, to broadcast their respective flagship regional newscasts. A typical evening newscast in these areas runs for 20 minutes on weekdays and 10 minutes on weekends. Local newscasts have the option to self-produce sports and weather segments, but others chose to opt back in to SBS for such segments; regardless, after the weather segment, the newscast always ends by the local affiliate's newscast title and anchors.
