Sunday Night was a newsmagazine show, featuring a mix of feature stories, investigative reports, forums and interviews. Unlike other newsmagazine programs, the show initially featured a live studio audience. Additionally, early episodes of the show were immediately followed by a companion program, The All in Call, a live question and answer session broadcast on Seven HD and online. The separate program was later axed, and the discussion was integrated into the final segment of Sunday Night.[2] The axing of The All In Call also saw the removal of the studio audience, while later seasons dropped the final segment discussion altogether.

Mike Munro initially co-hosted the show with Chris Bath but stood down as co-host to concentrate on reporting in April 2011. Alex Cullen and Mark Ferguson have been fill-in presenters. Melissa Doyle succeeded Chris Bath as the show's host from August 2015.[3]

In September 2019, the Seven Network announced that the show would be axed due to poor ratings and a changing television landscape.[4] The last new episode aired on 24 November 2019, though repeats continued to be aired into January 2020.
