Planet America moves to Monday nights on ABC TV
Planet America is moving to Monday nights at 9:35pm on ABC TV and ABC iview. Starting Monday 4 August Planet America joins 7.30 , A ustralian Story , Four Corners and Media Watch in an unmissable Monday night line-up. Hosted by Chas Licciardello and John Barron, Planet America offers a unique and insightful perspective on US politics, providing the latest news and expert political analysis through a sharp satirical lens. Chas Licciardello: "We're very excited for Planet America to be moving to Monday nights, which is a more traditional timeslot for news programming on the ABC main channel. On Wednesday nights it's been almost impossible to convince people that US politics wasn't some kind of elaborate dark comedy performance piece." John Barron: 'When Planet America started in 2012 the most outrageous thing Mitt Romney did when he was running against Obama was misspell 'Amercia'. Safe to say things have changed. 'Over the years we've been able to talk to Members of Congress, top advisors and dozens of the candidates – they really seem to enjoy speaking to people who can't vote! We'll still be pointing out the absurd and ridiculous as well as the deadly serious and concerning.' Encores of Planet America will be available on ABC TV and the ABC News Channel. About John Barron John has been covering American politics for the ABC for more than 20 years. He's the ABC's US politics analyst, author of a book about the history of Presidential primaries and co-host of Planet America since 2012. He was previously a presenter of The Drum, The Context and documentaries including 'Fly Me to the Moon' and 'The Party of Reagan'. About Chas Licciardello Chas has had the ideal preparation for covering American politics. The Chaser's election specials taught him about cheap political stunts. The Chaser's War on Everything taught him about grabbing the public's attention through frequent acts of stupidity, and The Checkout taught him how fraudsters and swindlers con the public. Now, on Planet America he's combining all that knowledge into one ALL CAPS TWEET. What a ride! Media contact Nikki Tugwell, ABC Communications
