About this episode
A channel to the right of Sky News has launched in Australia, with powerful and cashed-up backers.
ADH TV has all the hallmarks of far right American platforms, but with a very well known Australian at its centre: Alan Jones.
It marks something of a comeback for the 82-year-old shock jock, who was dropped by mainstream media outlets.
Today, associate editor for The Saturday Paper Martin McKenzie-Murray on who’s behind ADH TV and whether Australians have an appetite for far right news.
