“Breakfast Briefing” is the first glance on the top news stories from 6am to 6:30am, then “Breakfast Business” from 6:30am to 7am led by the station's Business Editor Vincent Wall, afterwards the “Newstalk Breakfast” from 7am to 9am presented by Shane Coleman and Ciara Kelly.

On weekdays the radio starts the information supply with 3 morning programmes between 6am and 9am. Through the colourful talk programmes of the day, every imaginable topic is brought under the scope, so discussions about lifestyle, culture, history, religion, science, books, psychology, philosophy widen the intellectual spectrum of the broadcaster's insightful attitude, and also the listeners can have their say in the radio, because phone-in talks are also parts of the programmes. Naturally the most highligted and recurring subject is the news (Ireland news, World news) and the related politics, but also the sports news and business news are the parts of the flow, as well as the regular weather reports. Music is a rare phenomenon, song-parts turn-up only occasionally, but all of the freed broadcast time is filled with a lot of talk in the most diverse topics. The radio is the number one speech-based commercial radio in Ireland. The broadcaster is in the ownership of Bauer Media Audio Ireland. In 2006 the station changed its name to its today form because it had successfully extended its frequencies and had become national. Listen to the online radio of Newstalk live, which was launched in 2002 in its Dublin studios as an independent radio, originally named as Newstalk 106, broadcasting only locally in Dublin.
