An entertainment programme will replace Xarabank on TVM’s autumn schedule, the national broadcaster has announced.

The decision to axe the popular talk show, which has been on the air for the past 23 years, was announced last week by its presenter, Peppi Azzopardi.

It will be replaced by a programme called ‘Serata ma’ Ron’, presented by Ronald Briffa.

TVM announced its full schedule on Friday morning.
