Replacing the similar "Tuesday Call", the programme was heard each Tuesday between 9 am and 10 am, immediately following the Today programme, and so attracted an audience of politicians and journalists who were encouraged to phone in themselves. It was not uncommon for a listener to be able to talk directly to a government minister or someone else who was making news that day.[1]
The series won Nick Ross an award as broadcaster of the year in 1997.[2] It was cancelled that year, soon after Ross left the show, saying that he wanted to "leave on a high". However there was speculation that Ross had resigned due to the show being replaced during the election season with Election Call with Peter Sissons.[3]
