Olga TV is a British independent television production company set up by the entertainer and talk show host, Paul O'Grady.
It is named after O'Grady's pet dog, Olga. The company produces The Paul O'Grady Show on Channel 4, following O'Grady's move from ITV. Reasons given for O'Grady's move to Channel 4 were a desire to produce the show himself, and also Granada Television's failure to renew his contract[1]. The Paul O'Grady Show ended on Channel 4 on 18 December 2009, as O'Grady had signed a new deal with ITV.
Olga TV currently produces O'Grady's Friday night primetime ITV1 show Paul O'Grady Live, which has aired since 10th September 2010 and has a similar but more adult themed format[2].
