PVO NewsDay (formerly titled PVO NewsHour) is an Australian television news and commentary program broadcast 4 times weekly on Sky News Australia.[1] The program is hosted by Peter van Onselen, whose initials in part represent the program's title. The program covers a range of news, politics, sport, weather, finance and entertainment, as well as commentary from van Onselen and other contributors. Occasionally, home viewers are invited on-air to provide opinions as part of a panel discussion.[2]
The program airs Monday through Thursday between midday and 4pm Sydney time, with a half-hour break in the program at 1:30pm for a separate but related program To the Point, which focuses on political news and is co-hosted by van Onselen and Kristina Keneally.[3] When Parliament is sitting, PVO NewsDay does not return after To the Point, as Sky News provides live coverage of Parliament question time, followed by an extended edition of PM Agenda.
The program is broadcast from the Sky News centre in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park. On 15 June 2015 Janine Perrett filled in for van Onselen when he was unable to host the program.[4]
History
The program began as an hour long primetime program titled PVO NewsHour, which premiered on 20 January 2014.[5][6] The program ended its primetime run on 28 May 2015 after van Onselen requested moving his program to a daytime slot to allow him to spend more time with his children. The daytime program, under the title of PVO NewsDay began on 1 June 2015.[7]
PVO NewsDay replaced live rolling news which was previously hosted by Ashley Gillan, who went on maternity leave.[7][8]
In November 2015, Foxtel confirmed that PVO NewsDay would return for a second season in 2016.[9]
