In October 2000, following political changes in Serbia, RTV Pink started assembling its news division headed by Tanja Jordović who is the current Editor-in-Chief. At first the entire production was limited to Infotop -- short, multiple daily broadcasts in a bulletin-style format—along with a central 30-minute evening newscast. Infotop mostly consisted of news agency reports as Pink had not yet developed a traditional network of correspondents.
In October 2005, Pink created a lot of buzz in regards to its news division. For months in advance, the network aggressively promoted the start of its central daily newscast Nacionalni dnevnik that replaced Infotop, placed in the 7:30 pm time slot up against RTS' longtime signature newscast Dnevnik 2. Following errors during the start-up period, the broadcast stabilised. Dnevnik 2 was never overtaken in the overall viewership by any TV network. Initially, Nacionalni dnevnik was hosted by five senior anchors (Aleksandar Crkvenjakov, Mihajlo Kovac, Tanja Jordović, Petar Lazović, and Nenad Ristić) who rotated daily. The anchor line-up has changed since then and Nacionalni dnevnik's evening broadcast is now anchored by experienced journalists Slavko Beleslin and Tanja Radjenovic Monday through Friday. Weekends are anchored by a different two-person team. In December 2008, Nacionalni dnevnik debuted a new on-air set, underscoring its new more serious approach to delivering the news.
Around the time of Infotop's launch, Pink started developing political news-oriented talk shows. The weekly political panel discussion talk show Klopka, hosted by Olivera Kovačević, appeared on the network drawing both high ratings and much criticism for seemingly copying its concept from Olja Bećković's Utisak nedelje that had aired on Studio B since 1991. Kovačević later took her show to BKTV in 2003, while Pink introduced launched a replacement, Zamka, hosted by Tanja Vidojević. Zamka similarly was a lively political talk show with discourse between various guests. The show was later cancelled following Vidojevic's departure from the station. Pink also started the weekly political talk show Piramida. Originally hosted by Branka Nevistić, Piramida, which aired on Sunday evenings, and was currently hosted by Slavko Beleslin. Piramida has built a sizable viewership base.
