YTN programming consists of a mix of live news bulletins, live broadcasts from major breaking news, commentary panel programs and overnight replays.
YTN increased its all news programming offerings in 2017, with three new weekday shows: Midnight News (midnight – 1am), Morning News (6am – 8am) and News Talk (11am – 11:40am).
Throughout most of the day, rolling news coverage is presented from one of two YTN's studios. From 7:30pm to 8:15pm (weekdays) and from 9:15pm to 10pm (weekends), commentary programs are broadcast. Most of these programs are presented by commentators discussing the general issues that Korea and the world are facing. On the evening part, along with updates, YTN also features main news of the day and expects tomorrow's headlines. Overnight, the channel carries a 20-minute news program presented live from the newsroom on the hour (3am and 4am: only 10 minutes long), along with replays of daytime magazines.
