"Insight" started out as a national domestic current affairs programme dealing primarily with Australian issues, while "Dateline" covered international ones.

It was hosted from 1999 until ca. 2001 by Dr Gael Jennings. After this, Jenny Brockie, coming from the ABC, began to host the programme.

Soon thereafter the format was transformed to "a discussion forum focusing on a single issue with the participation of a studio audience" [ [http://news.sbs.com.au/insight/content.php?about=1 Official SBS blurb] ] . In the course of the programme there are usually live satellite links to various policy makers, such as ministers, and experts from around the globe.
