The service runs on a 28-day rental basis rather than subscription or purchase model, with many of its programmes unseen since original broadcast more than 50 years ago.

Programming blocks mimicking live broadcast television and each running between 4 and 6 hours in length, the Nights In have been curated in-house by Network and  mix comedy, drama, variety and other entertainment formats alongside contemporary advertisements, alongside newly recorded continuity announcements from original ABC announcer David Hamilton.
