On 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]

Current segments
Since 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
- 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.

Local 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.
