Background

Neil's BBC political programme The Andrew Neil Show came off-air during the COVID-19 pandemic on 11 March 2020 and was then cancelled as a result of budget cuts at the BBC. Following his departure from the BBC, Neil became founding chairman of GB News and a presenter on the channel, but resigned amid controversy in September 2021.

In January 2022, it was reported that Neil was in talks with Channel 4 about presenting a weekly politics show to be launched later in 2022. On 21 February, Channel 4 announced that Neil would host a show beginning in May, which would also be accompanied by a weekly podcast.

In July 2023, Channel 4 announced that they axed The Andrew Neil Show amid content cuts.
