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.[1] 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.
