It was presented mainly by Richard Bacon (also the show's founder, and executive producer) and guest hosts, including Justin Lee Collins and Iain Lee. It was directed by Brendan Sheppard.

The show was broadcast live and included a presenter and three guests, each with their own television and digital satellite receiver. The guests would "flip" through the many hundreds of satellite channels looking for something interesting. If something interesting was found, whatever it was then broadcast live on the show with the guests providing their own mainly comic commentary. Before its disappearance, Flipside TV had a daily slot for two weeks on Channel 4, where it was normally broadcast between midnight and 2 am, and a ten-week slot on Paramount.
