History

The program began as an hour long

primetime program titled PVO NewsHour, which premiered on 20 January 2014.[5] 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.[6]

PVO NewsDay replaced live rolling news which was previously hosted by Ashley Gillan, who went on

maternity leave.[6][7]

In November 2015, Foxtel confirmed that PVO NewsDay would return for a second season in 2016.[8] The program returned again in 2017.[9]

PVO NewsDay ended on 26 October 2017, with van Onselen becoming a contributing editor at Sky News and reviving weekly format The Contrarians.[10]
