Away from the nightly regional news, Neville featured on a host of regional and networked programmes for the BBC – one such series, "The Mike Neville Show" (1975), was based on his experiences whilst completing National Service, in repertory theatre and on television. At a national level in the mid-1960s, he presented "Come Dancing" and the annual Miss United Kingdom contest. Other regional programmes included "A Likely Story" (1974), "Friday North" (1977), "Mike on Friday" (1980) and "Phone in Now" (1981). He also featured on "A Song for Europe" and the annual Children in Need telethon.
