Until 2009, it was broadcast as a stand-alone program, but on January 18, 2009,
Reliable Sources
became a segment during CNN's new Sunday morning political program
State of the Union with John King
, although it remained hosted by Howard Kurtz and retained its timeslot. In January 2010, after John King left the show,
Reliable Sources
again became its own show, moving back one hour in the process.
Reliable Sources
reviews the coverage of the news stories of the past week by the media, in addition to news about the news media behind the scenes, all with a constantly changing group of
online
,
print
, and
broadcast
journalists
. The segments also feature some one-on-one interviews with journalists taking part in a news event or covering a story, such as
Bob Woodruff
after his return to
ABC News
in February 2007 after his severe
injuries in Iraq on January 29, 2006
.
Bernard Kalb
was the first host from 1992 to 1998.

Howard Kurtz
hosted the program for fifteen years starting in 1998 before leaving CNN to join
Fox News
on July 1, 2013, where he became the host of
Media Buzz
, which aired opposite
Reliable Sources
on Sunday mornings and served as its direct competition from 2013 until
Reliable Sources
was cancelled in 2022. After Kurtz's departure,
Reliable Sources
used a rotating roster of guest hosts until December 8, 2013, when former
New York Times
reporter
Brian Stelter
became the program's permanent host.
