What happens

The Pledge is a panel discussion programme broadcast on Sky News. There are currently ten panellists, five of whom appear on the show each week. They discuss a variety of topics – there is no presenter, so each panellist champions a topic which is then debated. The programme was first announced in April 2016, and the first episode aired later that month, on 21 April 2016. The show is known for at times being controversial, and debates often get heated. The Pledge is currently not on air having been suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
