News and sport bulletins are provided by Newshub.

The show replaced Paul Henry after it was announced the frontman of the show, Paul Henry, was resigning and therefore the show was going to be replaced. The announcement was made by MediaWorks in November 2016, and Paul Henry last aired on 16 December 2016. The show's reporters are Sinelle Fernandez in Auckland, and Ashleigh McCaull in Wellington.

Before 2022, The AM Show was a hybrid radio and television programme which aired simultaneously on Three and Radio Live (rebranded as Magic Talk in 2019). The show was reformatted and ceased broadcasting on radio, following MediaWorks' decision to end its content supply agreement with Newshub in 2021.{{Cite web |last=Pullar-Strecker |first=Tom |date=19 October 2021 |title=MediaWorks to bring news reporting back in-house |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/126724481/mediaworks-to-bring-news-reporting-back-inhouse |access-date=16 April 2023 |website=Stuff}}{{Cite web|last=Ward|first=Tara|date=2021-12-10|title=So long, farewell: The AM Show says goodbye to Amanda Gillies and Mark Richardson|url=https://thespinoff.co.nz/tv/10-12-2021/so-long-farewell-the-am-show-says-goodbye-to-amanda-gillies-and-mark-richardson|access-date=2022-01-06|website=The Spinoff }}
