What is "xarabank"

Xarabank is a prime time talk show produced by Where's Everybody that airs every Friday on the Maltese national television station TVM. The show is presented by Peppi Azzopardi. Various topics are discussed, from politics to hobbies.

The name comes from the Maltese word for " bus", as on a Maltese bus one finds different people with different opinions who end up discussing and arguing on different topics.

Xarabank is Malta's most watched television programme and it is the only discussion programme in Malta that has a live audience who can participate by having his/her say live. Xarabank is broadcast every Friday evening on TVM, Malta's national TV station, between October and July each year and has been on air since 4 April 1997.
