The Six O'Clock Show first began as an early afternoon show live on TV3 then called Late Lunch Live. As part of the revamp of TV3's daytime schedule due to falling audience figures an extended version of Ireland AM and Late Lunch Live replaced The Morning Show.[3] Late Lunch Live premiered on 30 September 2013, airing every Monday to Friday from 14:00.[4] By 2014 the show was moved to a new timeslot of 15:30 to 16:30. The programme featured in-studio guests, live performances, updates on showbiz, TV, technology, events around the country and general chat with its daily guests.
On 30 January 2015 the TV3 Group confirmed Late Lunch Live would be replaced with The Seven O'Clock Show, which premiered on 16 February 2015.[5] Both presenters of Late Lunch Live joined the new show.
With the refresh and rebrand to The Seven O' Clock Show, Lucy Kennedy and Martin King presented the show four days a week with a rotation of presenters on Friday's edition. This includes Ray Foley and Mairead Farrell, or Lousie Duffy and Anton Savage.
Due to the return of Emmerdale and Coronation Street, the show was renamed The 6 O'Clock Show and was pushed back to 18:00. Muireann O'Connell and Martin King acted as the main hosts through 2021.[6]
The Friday evening edition was replaced by Xposé in March 2019.[7] Following the cancellation of Xposé, the show returned to its usual five nights a week from October 2019.[8] As of late 2022, Karen Koster and Greg O'Shea acted as regular hosts from Monday to Thursday, with Gráinne Seoige hosting the Friday edition alongside O'Shea. On 21 November 2023 it was announced that Brian Dowling and Katja Mia would be the new permanent hosts of the show replacing Karen Koster and Greg O'Shea.[9]
