Rapport and Nyheterna launched lunchtime news bulletins simultaneously in the autumn of 1997. None were successful, and TV4 shortened the bulletin and moved it to 1 p.m. some years later. News updates at 3 and 5 p.m. also existed, but all daytime news updates had seized a few years into the 2000s.

The evening bulletin was moved from 6.30 to the original 7 p.m. slot in 2004. In the autumn of 2004, TV4 launched several daily news updates broadcast in TV4, TV4 Plus, TV4 Fakta and to mobile phones.

On April 16, 2007, Nyheterna moved into a new studio, got the graphics, and switched to widescreen transmissions.
