The station covers the eastern part of Jutland, which includes ten municipalities: Aarhus, Randers, Silkeborg, Horsens, Syddjurs, Norddjurs, Favrskov, Skanderborg, Odder and Samsø.

This was a political decision, meant to force the station to produce news that did not entirely focus on the area's largest city, Aarhus.

Therefore, TV 2/Østjylland prioritises the experiences and problems of ordinary people in contrast to "expert sources" in the stations news coverage.

A typical day's broadcast on TV 2/Østjylland starts at 11 a.m. (11.00 o'clock) with a 30-minute program which features the stations most popular reporters such as Kurt Leth, Michael Nørgaard and Anne Louise Tranæs Didriksen.

12.10 a.m. the station broadcasts its most popular talkshow Go' Aften Østjylland a program that embrasses every story rooted in the eastern part of Jutland in a warm atmosphere.
