Its format was mostly centered on an analytical style, focusing largely on current affairs, news bulletins and cerebral interviews with politicians and other newsmakers, punctuated with bite-sized feature segments.
Some of the show's segments included Cím-Nap-Sztori (a play on címlapsztori, the Hungarian word for cover story), which interviewed the day's main newsmaker; Fő a város (focused on news and interviews from the Budapest region), Gyorshír (news flashes), Kinn, padon (out in the benches, interviews with prominent figures made from the Nap TV studio garden),[1] Párbaj (confrontational face-to-face debates) and the ever popular political debate Kereszttűz (Crossfire), in which a political figure was interrogated by the show's host and two additional journalists, who present and challenge their opinions with the guest.

The show also relaunched its concept to make it more dynamic and snappier compared to before, whilst retaining its focus on current affairs and political interviews.
