LONDON: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said on Tuesday he was launching his own television chat show and promised interviews with “key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries”.

No guests were unveiled, but a statement on the WikiLeaks website said the show would go on air in mid-March in 10 weekly half-hour episodes.

It will feature “controversial voices from across the political spectrum — iconoclasts, visionaries and power insiders — each to offer a window on the world tomorrow and their ideas on how to secure a brighter future.” Describing Assange as “one of the world’s most recognisable revolutionary figures,” the whistleblowing website said it had licensing commitments covering more than 600 million viewers across cable, satellite and terrestrial networks.—AFP
