The programme would be a daytime talkshow, run on Sky One, say reports.
The Scot is also considering legal action following yesterday's decision, in which he was told he could leave the court "without a stain on his character".
Leslie's spokesman, James Herring, has told journalists that possible targets could be "individuals, media organisations, newspapers and various people responsible for bringing him down, slandering or libelling him".
He could possibly sue for lost earnings, after being sacked from his £250,000 job presenting ITV's 'This Morning', along with Fern Britton. Leslie has already signed a deal with the Daily Express, reported to be worth £550,000, to tell his story, and a potential book deal could also be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The Daily Express is planning to publish Leslie's story in instalments, and today carries an interview in which he says he had been mentally preparing himself to go to prison for a crime he had not committed.
However, while the Daily Express told his full and exclusive story the Daily Mail hit back with eight pages of its own coverage that includes a double page spread headlined: "Monster or misunderstood?" with a second double-page spread "Why did all of these women come forward to tell such lurid tales?". It went on to recount 15 cases of women who said they had experienced unsavoury enocounters with Leslie.
Leslie was charged with two counts of sexual assault in June after his name was linked to that of Ulrika Jonsson, presenter of 'Gladiators', following the publication of her autobiography in which she said she had been raped by an unnamed television presenter in the 1980s.
Jonsson steadfastly maintained her silence on the man's identity, but media circles were soon thick with rumours. However, it was not until the journalist Matthew Wright accidentally mentioned Leslie on his Five talkshow that the rest of the media began to name him.
Subsequently, a number of women came forward to tabloids, claiming that he had attacked them, although the charges against Leslie earlier this year related to only one woman.
Yesterday's decision to drop all charges against him has provoked the usual soul-searching and finger-pointing in the media over the coverage of celebrity court cases -- particularly those involving sexual matters -- prompting calls for anonymity in the future.
