What Changed
European media is launching a live daily show modeled after the U.S.-based TBPN format. The five‑day schedule mirrors the two‑day format previously used, offering a repeatable rhythm for the week.
“The five‑day format will look quite similar to the two‑day format. There will be a live show from 12 p.m. U.K. time to 3 p.m., breaking down trending stories, and then for two hours, they will have guests on the show talking about whatever they want.” – TechCrunch, 27 Jul 2026
The program runs 12 p.m. – 3 p.m. (U.K. time) each day, covering trending tech stories, followed by a two‑hour guest segment where participants discuss topics of their choice.
Why It Matters
European startup visibility: The extended schedule gives more airtime for founders, investors, and innovators to reach a pan‑European audience.
Consistent pacing: Replicating the proven two‑day structure helps the show maintain a familiar rhythm while expanding to a full work week.
Open guest policy: Allowing guests to “talk about whatever they want” can surface niche ideas and emerging trends that might be overlooked in more scripted formats.
Who Is Affected
Founders and early‑stage startups seeking media exposure in Europe.
Investors and analysts looking for a quick daily digest of European tech news.
Tech‑savvy audiences across the continent who want live commentary and access to thought‑leaders.
What to Watch Next
Guest line‑up announcements: Keep an eye on who secures a spot, as these choices will signal which sectors and founders are gaining momentum.
Content distribution: Whether recordings will be syndicated on podcasts or YouTube could broaden the show’s reach beyond the live window.
Potential partnerships: The format may attract collaborations with European accelerators, venture funds, or media platforms.
