The clue is in the second half. It says "It's great!" Do you think they are talking about a specific talk show or just any talk show?

Hello,
I wonder if either article - definite or indefinite- can be used in the following context:
- have you seen ... new talk show on channel 5? It's great!
Thank you.

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

Thank you. I see your point. Could 'a' be possible if it weren't for the second sentence?
