Teilifís Éireann made its first news broadcast at 6:00pm on 1 January 1962, the first day of full programming for the new television station. The ten-minute bulletin was read by Charles Mitchel, who remained as RTÉ's chief television newsreader until his retirement in 1984. He was accompanied in the early years by Andy O'Mahony and, from 1966, by Maurice O'Doherty.
A year after its launch, the early evening bulletin was moved to 5:50pm to accommodate a new weeknight current affairs programme called Broadsheet, which provided more detailed analysis and reportage on the issues of the day. In September 1964, the 5.50pm news became part of a new 40-minute magazine programme called Newsbeat, which featured a greater emphasis on off-beat regional stories and satire. Newsbeat was quickly reduced to 30 minutes but remained in an early evening slot shortly after 6pm. By 1967, the early evening bulletin reverted to a separate programme.
