Inside Edition is a thirty-minute American television syndicated news program, on the air since January 9, 1989. It was originally similar to the programs Hard Copy and A Current Affair, but now more closely resembles a condensed version of breakfast television, excluvisely with pre-recorded stories rather than any live interviews. It was created by John Tomlin and Bob Young for King World Productions (now CBS Television Distribution, which also distributes Entertainment Tonight and The Insider). The show was originally a mix of tabloid crime stories, investigations, and celebrity gossip; now it has become a mix of news, bizarre crime, investigative pieces on consumer scams/safety, pop culture features, celebrity news/gossip, offbeat stories and human interest stories.

The first anchor correspondent of the program was David Frost, who was abruptly replaced after approximately three weeks with Bill O'Reilly, with Steve Kamer as the show's long-time announcer, first for David Frost and later for Bill O'Reilly. The current anchor correspondent is former Today anchor correspondent Deborah Norville, who took over for O'Reilly in 1995, with Steve Kamer staying as the announcer. During the summer months, rebroadcasts of investigative, special interest and offbeat stories from previous editions are often included, with correspondents introducing current general and entertainment news headlines; as such, Norville is typically seen only in pre-taped tosses to correspondents to introduce that day's current news stories and in during rebroadcast stories.

Inside Edition has been officially renewed through the 2011-2012 season and is usually the #2 highest-rated syndicated magazine program behind Entertainment Tonight.[citation needed]
