The anchors are all female instead of the inter gender format. On the morning and noontime editions, it is anchored by a solo newscaster while on primetime edition it is anchored by a duo, sometimes it is solo. The anchors are always standing on a set with two television sets,without a desk and without a script, while anchors still struggle to look natural while reading the teleprompter. During the opening portion of the newscast, the anchors are introducing themselves before they deliver the news stories. Prior to the end of newscast, the anchors deliver their parting words: "Natunghayan ninyo ang mga balitang aming nakalap ngayong umaga/hapon/gabi. Maraming Salamat sa iyong Pagsubaybay!(You have just seen the news this morning/noon/evening. Thank you very much for watching!)" in Filipino, without any identification.
It has different features everyday of the week. On Mondays, it is the nature and the environment, personality on Tuesdays, every Wednesday, the topic is on children and parenting, all about technology on Thursday and every Friday, all about food and health.
Controversy
Some staff of the newscast claims arrogantly that the newscast of the other Television Networks have copied their format, as well as their set. A dry claim which is quite laughable since the newscast itself is rather unknown and often overlooked in the broadcasting industry. Such claim is bigger than the newscast itself since major TV newscast's staff aren't even aware of I-Balita's existence.
