Rove returns with Fox 8 chatshow from LA

Rove McManus is to return to Australian television after more than a year away with a new talk show on pay TV channel Fox 8.  

The show will be a one hour weekly filmed in Los Angeles. His previous role was as host of Ten’s long-running Sunday night show Rove which ended in late 2009.

The new venture – Rove LA – will be produced by his production company Roving Enterprises, which also produces The 7PM Project for Ten.

McManus said: “While it has been great to rest, recharge and get to know LA over the past 12 months, I have really missed the adrenaline rush of a TV studio and doing what I love most. I’m excited to be back, excited to be with Foxtel and excited to be doing a show from a country that will give me plenty to share with everyone back home.”
