Andrew Neil has revealed that his political show for Channel 4 has been axed after three series due to budgetary reasons.
The veteran broadcaster – formerly of the BBC and GB News – returned to the airwaves in May 2022 with a weekly show, The Andrew Neil Show, which featured interviews with top politicians and a review of the week’s events.
The programme returned later in 2022 with Ed Balls and George Osborne as regular panellists, with a third – and now final – series airing in spring 2023.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Neil said: “I did three seasons with Channel 4.
“It worked well, they liked it, it did well but like a lot of media organisations these days, they said to me quite bluntly, ‘we’ve got no money. We haven’t got any money’.”
Neil now presents a weekday lunchtime show on Times Radio.
