Background

In September 2024, McManus was confirmed as the host for a new BBC Scotland series which would focus primarily on entertainment, culture and the arts sector across Scotland entitled The Entertainment Mix. The Commissioning Editor for BBC Scotland, Heather Kane-Darling, stated that the BBC "are thrilled to have Michelle present our weekly offering of The Entertainment Mix which will celebrate Scotland's talented performers and creators and provide audiences with everything they need to know about the big cultural moments across Scotland".
The show was commissioned by BBC Scotland as part of a "scheduling shake–up" at the channel, claiming that McManus would "treat audiences to a combination of feel-good music and celebrity interviews as well as bringing them all the best cultural events from right across the country".

Format

As of January 2025, The Entertainment Mix airs on Thursday each week at 8PM, with each episode lasting half an hour. As well as featuring celebrity interviews, the show also features inputs relating to gigs, performances, and live events across Scotland which is part of a regular 'what's on' segment featured in the show.
