British political discussion programme on ITV
Peston is the flagship political discussion programme on British television network
ITV , usually recorded live on Wednesday evenings at 9 pm. It is broadcast live on Twitter (the first terrestrial
UK programme to do so) and then played out after the
News at Ten at 10.45pm (usually later on
STV ). It was announced on 5 June 2018 that the show would launch in the autumn of that year as a continuation of
Peston on Sunday .
[2] The programme is presented by
Robert Peston , the Political Editor of
ITV News , and features a combination of interviews with politicians and public figures alongside analysis of the major news events of the week.
Format
According to ITV, Peston intends to "provide viewers with a fresh, intelligent and lively perspective on the big matters of the day."
[3] Political and cultural guests join
Robert Peston in the studio or remotely for interviews, with analysis from
Anushka Asthana and 'Screeny', the show's large touchscreen which also features social media interaction.
The show launched on 26 September 2018 with its own emoji on Twitter promoting the launch. The emoji appears when any user tweets “ #Peston. “
