''Inside Edition'' is broadcast in two formats: the weekday edition is broadcast as a half-hour program and features a broad mix of news stories of various types and feature segments; a weekend edition (titled '''''Inside Edition Weekend''',''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Inside Edition Weekend (1989) |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11489716/mediaviewer/rm3033337857/?ref_=tt_ov_i |access-date=2024-08-13 |website=IMDb |language=en-US}}</ref> though visually referenced as '''''Inside Weekend''''' in on-air graphics) is also produced, which also runs for a half-hour, and is composed of a selection of stories featured on the Monday through Friday editions the previous week. During major holidays occurring on a weekday, that episode may feature a format similar to the weekend edition but featuring a compilation of stories from past editions and occasionally features lifestyle-oriented stories in relation to certain major holidays (such as [[Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day]], [[Thanksgiving]] and [[Christmas]]); from 2002 to 2012, certain episodes aired during the summer months also followed a similar format, mixing feature packages from past episodes introduced by the anchor of that day's broadcast with current news stories introduced by one of the program's correspondents from its newsroom.

The program is based at the [[CBS Broadcast Center]] in [[Manhattan]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thompson |first=Simon |title=How Magazine Shows Endure In An Increasingly Challenging Media Landscape |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonthompson/2024/09/09/how-magazine-shows-endure-in-an-increasingly-challenging-media-landscape/ |access-date=2025-02-07 |website=Forbes |language=en}}</ref> which houses its main newsroom and production facilities as well as the set for the broadcast. Some editions, however, are conducted from the program's West Coast newsroom in [[Los Angeles]] (from where the program's L.A.-based correspondents sometimes introduce story packages) or on location at the studios of [[television station]] which carry the program or from the sites of events which are being covered for the broadcast. ''Inside Edition'' is transmitted live via satellite at 3:00&nbsp;p.m. [[Eastern Time Zone]] each Monday through Friday, with occasional updates to each broadcast being conducted to account for new story details or other timely news pieces, and to correct technical or script issues in the original live broadcast.

The program was among the first directly affected by the [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television in the United States|impact]] of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] on March 8, 2020 (the day where the [[COVID-19]] was declared a [[pandemic]]); as the CBS Broadcast Center (and thus, the ''Inside Edition'' newsroom and studio) was closed after building personnel tested positive for the virus. For the first week after, Deborah Norville originated the program from her home kitchen and subsequently later shot remotely from her home, with contributions from the Los Angeles newsroom before being able to establish a dedicated virtual home studio with the entire staff [[remote work]]ing, as the Los Angeles base was also affected by a [[stay-at-home order]].
