In Bangladesh, talk shows, particularly political talk shows, are extremely popular. Political talk shows played a significant role in establishing political discourses and influencing public opinion just prior to the 2018 national election. This exploration thought about that time span to comprehend the job syndicated program has played in that very scary world of politics. The study examines political talk shows of the time to comprehend how talk shows dealt with politics and seeks to identify the co-modifying nature of Bangladeshi television talk shows. The research employs a qualitative approach that involves textual analysis of the talk shows to accomplish this. According to the findings of the research, political talk shows are more concerned with lucrative presentations and sponsor demands than they are with constructive discussions. Having a disagreement is valued more than coming to an agreement. This study came to the conclusion that political talk shows have greatly influenced politics, and it recommended looking for solutions rather than just addressing issues.
