Peston on Sunday is a political discussion programme on British television network ITV, which was broadcast live on Sunday mornings from 10 am and rebroadcast after the ITV Weekend News on Sunday evening. The programme was presented by Robert Peston, the Political Editor of ITV News, and featured discussions with politicians and public figures on the major news events of the week alongside analysis and social media reaction with Allegra Stratton, the then-National Editor of ITV News.{{cite web|url=http://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week19/peston-sunday|title=Peston on Sunday Episode 1|publisher=ITV Press Centre|accessdate=5 May 2016}}
ITV announced on 5 June 2018 that the show would resume in the autumn of 2018 and would be broadcast after the ITV News at Ten on Wednesday nights. The show was rebranded under the new name of Peston, and the show is now broadcast from TC2 at BBC Studioworks' Television Centre.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jun/06/robert-peston-moves-to-midweek-itv-slot-after-poor-viewing-figures|title=Robert Peston moves to midweek ITV slot after poor viewing figures|last=Waterson|first=Jim|date=6 June 2018|work=TheGuardian.com|accessdate=30 September 2018}} The revamped show began in September 2018.
Format
As a Sunday morning talk show, in contrast to the style of questioning employed by rival programmes like The Andrew Marr Show and Sophy Ridge on Sunday, Peston on Sunday featured a more relaxed, conversational approach to engage and explore the opinions of the political guests.
The programme was usually broadcast live from The London Studios, where it shared Studio 3 with Lorraine and Loose Women.{{cite web|url=http://www.newscaststudio.com/setstudio/peston-on-sunday/|title=Peston on Sunday|work=NewcastStudio|publisher=HD Media Ventures}} Episodes were broadcast from Liverpool, Birmingham, Brighton, Manchester and Glasgow during the party conference seasons of 2016 and 2017.{{cite web|url=http://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep3week40/peston-sunday|title=Peston on Sunday Episode 3|publisher=ITV Press Centre|accessdate=2 October 2016}}
