The channel's chief executive officer and chairman are Jack Bulfin and businessman Maurice Newman respectively.[2][3]
History
[edit]ADH TV was launched in 2021 by Jack Bulfin and two friends including Jake Thrupp[3] after the channel's parent company Australian Digital Holdings was registered with ASIC on 25 November 2021. Alan Jones was announced as its first host on 10 December, having left Sky News Australia in November.[4] His show − Alan Jones: Direct to the People − aired its first episode on 13 December.[5]
The channel relocated to purpose-built studios in Chippendale, an inner city suburb of Sydney on 2 May 2022, and came at the same time as Jones returning to the channel for a show with his name.[1]
In July 2023, billionaire businessman and investor James Packer invested in ADH TV, although the total value is unknown.[6]
