Kyle will present a debate show with political stories and celebrity interviews that will air from 4pm to 7pm on weekdays.

Late evenings feature Sharon Osbourne hosting The Talk, a panel discussion with celebrity, political and business guests that goes under the same name as the US show she was dropped from after defending Morgan's Markle comments.
