The program has expanded to 2 hours in 2017, following the ending of SportsNight with James Bracey in 2016. [5] Also in 2017, Paul Murray Live held programs from locations outside the studio with a live audience. [6] [7]

In the first half of 2018, Paul Murray Live was the most watched program in its timeslot across all subscription television channels. [8] [9] [ better source needed ]
