While the program is coming to an end, Paikin and co-host Nam Kiwanuka will continue to work at TVO in other capacities.

“Deciding to sunset ‘The Agenda with Steve Paikin’ this year was a collaborative decision we made with Steve three years ago when we signed his current contract,” said John Ferri, vice-president of programming and content for TVO, in a news release. “We are thankful Steve will continue to be an integral part of the TVO family with a strong and influential presence contributing to TVO journalism and we are excited to bring Ontarians a new public affairs show this fall.”

“TVO has been too important a part of my life to walk away entirely,” Paikin said in the same news release. “I am grateful to everyone who worked on or was a part of The Agenda for the last 19 seasons. It has truly been an honour and I’m looking forward to what’s coming next.”

TVO said Paikin and Kiwanuka will continue at TVO with columns, podcasts and other hosting duties, including Paikin being the co-host the weekly “” on TVO.

What is ‘The Agenda with Steve Paikin’?

The program, which airs five evenings a week on TVO, is intended to cover topics and issues that matter most to Ontario residents.

Paikin or Kiwanuka chat with guests in a long-form style of journalism on the topic being discussed.

The program airs at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. on week nights.

The final episode will air Friday, June 27.

What will replace ‘The Agenda’?

Taking over the show’s time slot will be a new show, “The Rundown,” which will launch this fall.

TVO said the editorial standards of “The Rundown” will be the same as that of “The Agenda,” but the production style will be more varied.

“We will be featuring voices from a range of professional, cultural, and ideological perspectives, prioritizing guests with firsthand knowledge of the topics. ‘The Rundown’ will maintain TVO’s non-partisan stance and help to connect global and national issues to local impact, ensuring stories are relatable for our audience. I’m confident that our ‘Agenda’ viewers will feel right at home watching ‘The Rundown,’” Ferri said.

The new show is said to feature original journalism and in-depth analysis exploring social, political, cultural and economic issues that impact Ontarians.

Each episode will look at a single topic in multiple ways, using a mix of hosted audio interviews and field segments, known as “streeters,” and explainer-style videos.
