Alan Jones to host new program via digital media company
Australian media figure Alan Jones has signed with newly formed Australian Digital Holdings (ADH) for his new show titled Alan Jones: Direct To The People.
Jones made the announcement today at a press conference at Sydney’s Hilton Hotel with ADH chair Maurice Newman, former chairman at the ABC, which was also streamed live on Jones’ Facebook page.
I wish you well in your new endeavour Alan. I have listened to you since your 2UE days followed you where ever you went so am looking forward to your new gig. I hope you kill it. I’m sick of all the experts and criticism, radio is boring now and so are a lot of so called Current Affairs programs. So once again good luck.
Kindest regards,
Carole Ripolles
No Mac, completely the opposite. Jones, Credlin, Kenny, Dean, Bolt et al can do nothing else other than cheer on their side ferociously, and stick the boot into any idea coming on the other side. There is no room for ideas, intellect, compromise, standards or ethics. Good luck to him, though its just another podcast it seems.
Digital broadcasting and social media is the future and Jones seems to be off and running into another success story in his destiny. Remember his radio rating have always been the highest for any Australian broadcaster and there is no reason he should not continue to raise the flag. Unfortunately, we seem to have shift toward “The Great Reset” in media circles and for some reason that word “Woke” seems to get in the way of “Free Speech”.
I wonder how long Facebook will take to muzzle him.
Thank God for Alan Jones Australia needs more people like Alan Jones.
Great to have you back Alan and lets see freedom of speech ignited with your new show cheers Erko
Why is it then impossible to find a link to the show if he is trying to promote it?
Alan is not to everyone’s taste and like the rest of humankind is imperfect. As a political commentator though he comes close to that rare standard. Along with Peta Credlin and Chris Kenny, despite his age he is one of the very best.

? Credlin ? Kenny ?
Hilarious…
It’s one thing for advertisers to be on his TV or radio show – if he says something untoward they can dissociate themselves, saying its part of a run of station campaign. But to specifically advertise on his own online show – which, is presumably how it’ll be funded – will be too much of a liability for any advertiser. Can’t see it making any money, even if Facebook don’t pull the plug.
So glad really enjoyed your advice on things of importance God bless you
Imagine putting a show on YouTube and Facebook in 2021 and calling it a “pioneering initiative”
It is no surprise that Alan has gone to work for Maurice Newman whose chairmanship of the ABC was linked to controversy. They are ideological bedfellows whose viewers, in my opinion, do not accord with Australia’s silent majority. It should be noted that AJ was a constant winner of the Sydney radio ratings; but in national terms the numbers were relatively small. The Sky After Dark numbers were also very small and, as such, may have resulted in Foxtel majority owner News Corp becoming concerned about legal exposure for little benefit. That said Alan has every right to spruik his views wherever he can find an outlet.
A little over 12 hours since he went live, and the first stream managed 74,000 views via Facebook & 6,200 views via YouTube.

Looks like there’s a ways to go until Alan reaches “millions of viewers and readers here and overseas.”
