History[]

On 30 March 2015, TV3 announced that it will begin broadcasting a new main evening news programme at 8pm every weeknight.^[1]

In December 2016, the show was moved over to sister channel 3e after TV3 regained the rights to Coronation Street and Emmerdale. At the end of December 2016, TV3 News at 8 was discontinued.

A major rebrand of the entire TV3 Group took place in August 2018, when the company was renamed as Virgin Media Television, with all news output rebranded as Virgin Media News. News at 8.00 returned on the day of the rebrand, replacing the News at 7, which aired on Be3.
