This TV Show Is About.
Wiki.
Brexitcast is a British political talkshow and television programme produced by BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC News. It was launched on 5 June 2017 following the success of Electioncast, a podcast that had covered that year's general election. Originally aired on radio, it was announced on 3 June 2019 that Brexitcast had been commissioned as a television programme for BBC One. It was the first BBC podcast to be commissioned for television.
The first televised edition of Brexitcast aired on BBC One and the BBC News channel on 12 September 2019, and was later briefly accompanied by the daily Electioncast which returned as a daily podcast for the duration of the 2019 general election. On 5 January 2020 it was announced that Brexitcast would be renamed Newscast after the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union on 31 January. The final regular edition of Brexitcast was released on 30 January 2020. An edition was later aired in November 2020. The first edition of Newscast aired on 6 February.
Online, episodes of Brexitcast had amassed cumulative 8 million downloads by 1 September 2019 and over 18 million by January 2020, and its first edition on BBC One attracted over a million viewers. It has received mixed reviews from critics, with a reviewer for the New Statesman praising it for its impartiality, and The Guardian for its presenters' adeptness at explaining the subject matter. However, some have been more critical, particularly of the television version, which a reviewer for The Glasgow Herald described as dull.
