The channel’s controller, Patrick Holland, has yet to reveal details of the format, the title to be used or specified whether Boyle will be appearing live.
A staunch Republican, Boyle is not a fan of the royal family and they have frequently borne the brunt of his blunt monologues.
Never scared of voicing his views on governments of the day, Boyle is known for his no-holds-barred, controversy-whipping tirades.
Keen to become more “contemporary”, the channel has decided to position the controversial comedian as one of its leading voices.
