WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has finished shooting 12 episodes of his TV talk show, which will be called The World Tomorrow
and is set to debut next week on Russia’s RT news network, formerly
known as Russia Today, and online, the organization said Friday.
“The first episode will be aired on RT and released online on
Tuesday 17 April 2012, with other networks to follow,” it said in a
statement posted online. Earlier this year, WikiLeaks had spoken of
plans for 10 episodes and had mentioned it had secured licensing
commitments covering “over 600 million viewers.” Back then, it said the
show would launch in March.
“Julian Assange, founder and Editor-in-Chief of WikiLeaks, has been
under house arrest, without charge, for almost 500 days,” Friday’s
statement said. “Over the past two months, his temporary home in the
English countryside has played host to a series of extraordinary
conversations with some of the most interesting and controversial people
alive in the world today.”
