"The Agenda with Steve Paikin" cite web|url=http://www.tvo.org/theagenda/agenda_paikin.pdf|format=PDF|title=Why "The Agenda"? by Steve Paikin|publisher=TVOntario|date=2006-06-26|accessdate=2006-06-26] is TVOntario's flagship current affairs program, hosted by Steve Paikin. The program, which replaced the earlier series "Studio 2", "Diplomatic Immunity" and "Fourth Reading", was announced as part of programming and re-structuring changes at TVOntario on June 29, 2006.cite web|url=http://www.tvontario.org/pressrls/TVOntario_June_29_ENG.pdf|format=PDF|title=TVO and TFO Mobilize for Digital Future|publisher=TVOntario|date=2006-06-29|accessdate=2006-06-29]

The program's format is designed to provide in-depth coverage of specific contemporary social issues, and will also offer user-generated content. The show practises what Paikin calls "long-form" journalism; each program tackles no more than two topics, and sometimes no more than one. "We are going to be out there giving people what they've been telling us they want: more intelligent analysis, and more robust, thought-provoking debate and discussion among newsmakers and experts," Paikin says.

As part of TVOntario's digital strategy which it announced two years ago, some of "The Agenda's" content is available on demand through technologies like iPods, PDAs and video-enabled phones.

Steve Paikin, quoted by the CBC and referring to the cancellation of "Studio 2", said

It’s a little difficult to feel shortchanged today. The show had a great run — it lasted longer than (CBC news show) "The Journal". So I’m proud of everything that we all accomplished doing "Studio 2", but we’ve got a new challenge ahead of us now and we’re going to do the best damn job we can on it.cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/story/arts/national/2006/06/29/tvo-changes.html|title=TVOntario to cancel Studio 2|publisher=CBC|date=2006-06-29|accessdate=2006-06-29]
