A feature of Rapport at 19:30 is that the bulletin consists solely of filmed reports and some telegrams with almost no studio interviews done.

Rapport also used to refer to shorter news bulletins that aired on SVT1 and SVT2 throughout the day but since late 2016, they have all been renamed as SVT Nyheter.

At the same time Rapport's was broadened (the old formula had never been very popular with viewers) and it soon became Sweden's most widely viewed news programme.

Suddenly, Rapport proper found itself providing only the prime-time early-evening programme (and the late-evening edition at weekends) on the second channel, by now known as SVT2.

There were more challenges for SVT's news teams in 2001 when the two main programmes, Rapport and Aktuellt, swapped channels.

The channel would thenceforth broadcast news programmes every half-hour around the clock (every hour during the day on weekdays) and they would be made by Rapport.

Lisbeth Åkerman and Morgon Olofsson would later join Katarina Sandström as the regular hosts of the programme.

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake brought the start of news updates throughout the night at weekends, a service which has continued ever since.

As its logo, the programme used a wordmark with the name "rapport" written with all lower case letters in a font similar to American Typewriter.

In the 1990s, Rapport used various designs before eventually settling for a blue studio and a simple intro with a spinning globe in the corner.

When Rapport was moved to a new studio on 8 September 2001, it received a new theme tune composed by Christian Falk and a new logo.

During the midnight news broadcast on the night of 20 August 2006, a hard core Czech porno film called Sex Tails shown on the pay channel Canal+, could be seen on studio television monitors behind anchor Peter Dahlgren.

Normally the monitors behind the anchor display news broadcasts, however, workers at the station had changed the channel earlier in the day to watch a sports event.

Swedish tabloids on Monday poked fun at the broadcast, jokingly changing the name of the programme - Rapport - to "Rapporn".
