Was that the only show he was on?
Was Why Don't You the only show Anthony McPartlin was on?
McPartlin's first appearance on television was on the children's workshop programme Why Don't You?, but his big break came when he rose to prominence playing the character of PJ in the CBBC series Byker Grove. It was during his time on the programme that he first met Declan Donnelly, who was cast in the part of Duncan. The pair formed a close friendship on the programme, both socially and professionally, with the men performing as their characters until their departure from the programme in 1993. During their tenure, the pair created a number of hit records under the label of "PJ & Duncan AKA", including the song "Tonight I'm Free" that had been performed on Byker Grove.  From that part onwards, McPartlin and Donnely worked together on television, creating the presenting duo of Ant & Dec. Initially, the pair continued to work in children's television with the Saturday morning hit SMTV Live, before they eventually branched out into gameshows - Friends Like These, PokerFace and Push the Button - along with talent shows - Pop Idol, and Britain's Got Talent - and entertainment programmes - I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. The pair continued to maintain work in acting, starring in a tribute to The Likely Lads, in the form of a remake of an episode from the show's sequel Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? entitled "No Hiding Place". In 2006, McPartlin and Donnelly starred together in the film Alien Autopsy.  In 2007, it was discovered that two shows, Ant & Dec's Gameshow Marathon and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, which he co-presented with Donnelly, had defrauded viewers participating in phone-ins. The latter was produced by the pair's own production company.  In April 2009, Ant & Dec achieved wide international exposure when, as backstage commentators for Britain's Got Talent, they interviewed contestant Susan Boyle, whose audition would become the most viewed YouTube video of the year and whose record album topped sales charts in dozens of countries.

The Sunday Night Show with Iain Lee was a Sony Award Silver-winning  weekly radio show broadcast on Absolute Radio, between 10 pm on Sunday and 1 am on Monday, hosted by Iain Lee and produced by Eloise Carr, formerly by Dave "Davis" Lambert. The format of the show was primarily phone-in based, with callers discussing the pre-set topics of the evening, or to discuss topics that they themselves introduce. The show is notable for allowing calls to be aired unscreened for the last half-hour of the show, in a segment called "MMM" (or Triple M), which is similar in format to The Human Zoo. As well as talk, records are sparsely played throughout the show (approximately 4 to 5 records per hour) due to Absolute Radio's license as a music station. The show ended in September 2009, and was replaced a month later by Iain Lee's 2 Hour Long Late Night Radio Show on the same station.

Origins 

The Sunday Night Show was similar in format to Iain Lee's Good Evening, which was broadcast on LBC until November 2007. Unlike Lee's previous show, it was only broadcast one night a week as a niche show, as it was the only predominantly phone-in show broadcast on Absolute. The show featured some continuity from the LBC days, with callers from the previous station contributing similar output on the new show, for instance Barry from Watford.

Regular features 
The Sunday Night Show had several regular features including "Answerphone Messages", where best bits of messages left during the week on the answerphone were played and "Triple M", the part of the show (broadcast at approximately 12.30 am) when calls went straight to air with no screening. However, as this may lead to inappropriate utterances from callers, the show was broadcast with a seven-second delay.

"Win Win or Lose" was a former feature where Lee gives away items he has received that week. Occasionally, he has given away other items as prizes, e.g. unwanted presents from relatives. The feature was not strictly speaking a competition but a game of chance – the only criterion needed to win was to be on hold on the right line(s) when the feature was played. The format has recently been changed to allow more than one person to play, however there is still no element of competition – if two callers partake, then the "winners" split the items equally, and may have been given the chance to swap prizes on air.

The "Col-Lee-Seum" (conceived by XTC guitarist Andy Partridge) was a feature when two listeners both argue separate issues. Following this the first five people to call in and vote for one of the contestants meant that contestant wins. Although the game was meant to be serious, due to the contestants and issues chosen, for instance chocolate or vanilla, the feature normally became a rabble.

British talk radio programmes Golic and Wingo was an American sports-talk radio show that was hosted by Mike Golic, Sr., his son Mike Jr. and co-host Trey Wingo that aired on the ESPN networks. The show was carried on ESPN Radio and simulcast on television on ESPNEWS since April 2, 2018 (prior to this, it was simulcast on ESPN2), and acted as the morning show for both the radio and television sides of the production. Outside of a few radio stations that were able to move or decline carriage of the show for their own local morning productions (or for daytime-only operations, may not be able to carry), Golic and Wingo was effectively a compulsory element of the ESPN Radio schedule, which all affiliates of the network were required to carry and was the premier morning show on ESPN.

The show started on November 27, 2017, and succeeded Mike & Mike, with Golic's previous co-host, Mike Greenberg leaving the show on November 17, 2017 for a morning show on ESPN called Get Up! (which premiered on April 2, 2018) after an 18-year run together. 

ESPN announced that Golic and Wingo would be ending on July 31, 2020. Mike Golic retired from ESPN Radio after the final Golic and Wingo show on July 31, 2020.  At the time, there was no show announced for Trey Wingo (he is no longer at ESPN as of September 4, 2020), while Mike Golic Jr. joined Chiney Ogwumike for their new late afternoon radio show, Chiney & Golic Jr., which started on August 17, 2020.

As for the Golic and Wingo show itself, it was replaced with Keyshawn, JWill & Zubin, which also debuted August 17, 2020.

Television series based on radio series HypaSpace was a weekly entertainment news program about the world of science fiction and fantasy, created by and shown on Space, a Canadian cable television station. It had daily and weekly segments.

The television show covers movies, television, books, comics and community events. The show has HypaSpace daily shows and HypaSpace weekly shows which sums up the week of news. The series was casual and irreverent. HypaSpace was produced by Simon Evans and Michelle Dudas.

There were 260 episodes per year, excluding the first year, which started in May, and the sixth year, as the daily shows were pulled around mid-December with only the weekend edition airing. The daily segments stopped being produced in mid-December 2007, which meant that in its last year, the show had only 26 episodes. There were approximately 1480 episodes of the show.

In May 2005, Kim Poirier took over hosting the show, joining original host Jonathan Llyr, now a reporter for the program. Poirier left the show in July 2007.

Segments of HypaSpace aired interstitially between Space programs.

Llyr hosted the show whenever Poirier was on a break or was ill. He also hosted the HypaSpace podcast, which started on October 7, 2006. Mark Askwith then took over as the host of the podcast.

Danielle McGimsie was the new host of the show after Poirier's departure and shared hosting duties with Llyr. After Llyr was let go from the show at the end of 2007, Natasha was given a bigger role for the show.  Producer Simon Evans also left the show in November 2007, and it was taken over by Michelle Dudas.

Kim Poirier returned to the show on 8 March 2008 with Natasha still presenting the games and toys portion of the show. Danielle McGimsie was no longer part of the show.

Natasha was the only presenter to be with the show during its entirety.

The last show episode aired on 27 June 2008; it was replaced by a similar show called The Circuit, which premiered on 15 August 2008, and later InnerSPACE, which debuted in 2009.
