[4] NHK Newsline updates viewers on the latest hard news with a focus mainly on Japan, the rest of Asia, and then finally around the world.

Some editions feature segments focusing on Southeast Asia hosted by an anchor based in Bangkok.

Feature segments follow, with business news and a global weather forecast.

During periods of breaking news, Newsline is usually extended past its normal time slot.

In the United States, NHK Newsline airs on the PBS World Channel at 2:00pm Pacific Time Zone on weekdays and on Link TV daily.
