8world News is a department which produces news, current affairs, and info-ed programmes for two Mediacorp channels aired in Mandarin, Channels 8 and U.
Prior to 2010, the news were presented in three timeslots - News 8 At One (Chinese:1點新聞), which airs daily; Singapore Today (Chinese:獅城6點半), and News 8 at 10. (Chinese:10點新聞). With the reduction of MediaCorp News Group employees and the increased demand for more variety programme content on Channel U, MediaCorp announced that the news programmes on Channel U would end with effect from 29 March 2010. News 8 at 10 would then air at 11.00pm there, as a new title called News Tonight (Chinese:晚間新聞).
Beginning from 20 October 2014, Hello Singapore (Chinese: 獅城有約) took over Singapore Today on weekdays, with news segments at 6.30pm and 7.00pm, it was broadcast live on weekdays & News 8 At One will not be broadcast on weekends.
Channel 8 News started broadcasting on new headquarters 1 Stars Avenue starting 13 March 2017, leaving the former headquarters Caldecott Hill after the broadcast of News Tonight on 12 March 2017. This move also brings an overall change for news graphics, subtitles, and the upgrade of hardware.[1]
On 1 April 2021, News 8 At One, Hello Singapore and Singapore Today started including Chinese subtitles.
