Derryn Hinch is ‘coming home’ with a new show on Sky News
Broadcaster and commentator Derryn Hinch will return to TV screens as the host of a new show on Sky News after losing his senate seat in the 2019 election.
Hinch will air on Thursdays at 8pm on Sky News Live and Sky News on WIN and will mark a return to TV for Hinch, ‘the Human Headline’, after he left the world of media to become a senator three years ago.
The one-hour program will broadcast live from Sky News Melbourne each week. Hinch said returning to the channel feels like he’s ‘coming home’ after hosting Hinch Live for two seasons in 2015.
“Hosting Hinch on Sky News, I feel like I am coming home. I loved my time at Sky before I ‘jumped the shark’ and became a senator. Now, I can bring you info from both outside and inside. Not just politics but the issues of the day. I can’t wait,” said Hinch.
Hinch’s history in the media involves several years as a broadcaster with 3AW, hosting roles at Seven, Ten and Nine, a run on Dancing with the Stars in 2005 and a column he wrote for Crikey from 2016 to 2018, which promised to ‘expose the inner-workings of Parliament House’.
His career has also been marred with controversy. In 1987 he served 12 days in prison and was fined $15,000 for contempt of court regarding the case of Roman Catholic priest Michael Charles Glennon and 2011 he was held on home detention for breaching suppression orders.
In 2014, Hinch was jailed again, this time for contempt of court regarding the death of Jill Meagher.
Paul Whittaker, Sky News chief executive said: “As we continue to expand our programming offering, Hinch will be compelling viewing as he provides his unique take on events.”
Hinch was elected to the senate with Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party in the 2016 federal election before losing his seat in 2019. He is also currently working on his sixteenth book.
I receive a DVA disability pension and previously received the DVA Service Pension until my assests went over the threshold for the Service Pension. The problem with DVA are the rules and the requirement of proof of injury. Its not the folks who have to apply the rules. They are great. Its those bloody rules which ambush vets who didn’t know they needed ‘proof’of injury on their medical records. Records which often fail to properly record mental and bodily injury. Only a complete review by a Royal Commission will prove a rotten system.

Hi Darrin,
Every email you read that comes in is all bad. I think you are the best on sky then Alan Jones. I use to watch you on channel 7 many years ago. You are nothing what the emails say. The people who email you saying bad things about you watch shows like The Bold And The Beautiful, they are brain dead. Keep up the good work and say some thing nice about your self. You are the best.
Regards,
Gordon

Derryn, lots of talk about new start I have worked from the time I was 14 left work at 67 never received any dole payment but I get less than the new start payment because my wife still has to work three days a week to pay the rent. We have very little savings and every week we have to use more of our savings to get by. Maybe the polys should look at real people and their problems please have a look at this I bet there is plenty of pensioners in my position thanks Bill

The only time I turn Sky News off is when Derryn Hinch is on. He showed his popularity by being thrown out – best thing that happened. He accuses others of being arrogant I guess he should know he is the best at it.
Hope you never make parliament again, far better people than him.
What’s wrong Sky News, you wouldn’t be very difficult to find a better and more accurate announcer than him.
Is he still drinking after being given a liver? Disgusting.

Wish you luck Tim, he is all talk and little action – that’s why he is no longer in the Senate – how lucky is this.
