What happens

The Agenda with Steve Paikin, or simply The Agenda, is the flagship current affairs television program of TVOntario (TVO), Ontario's public broadcaster. Anchor Steve Paikin states that the show practices long-form journalism. Each hour-long program covered no more than two topics. The show aired weekdays on TVO at 8:00 and 11:00 p.m., and episodes were available on demand at the show's website and through mobile media. The show concluded at the end of its 19th season, with the final episode airing on June 27, 2025. The Agenda was replaced in the fall of 2025 with The Rundown, which is to feature “original journalism and in-depth analysis exploring social, political, cultural and economic issues that impact Ontarians.” Paikin will not host the new show, but will continue with the network on a part-time basis as co-host of the weekly political podcast #onpoli, and as a columnist on TVO's website as well as hosting public events for the network.
