Chas Licciardello and John Barron return for their fourth US presidential election special live show!
Joined by top shelf guests to unpack the complexities of US politics and for all the latest commentary and analysis of the 2024 presidential election. And with America’s last election ending in a flurry of lies, violence and scandal, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Don’t miss the plot twists in this sequel to end all sequels with Planet America live at 8pm on election night.
Planeteers, apologies for the late change in our broadcast time last night. They sure like to move us around without notice! We will be at 9.30pm Weds on @ABCTV for the rest of 2024 and we'll be available on iView and YouTube by 9pm. Fireside remains at 8pm Friday on @abcnews

Got any questions you'd like us to ask? Let me know!
8pm ADST ABC News/iView
They’ve decided to stuff a repeat of Fisk in at 9-ish pm, pushing back PA.
Yes, the Fisk that was only on the main channel a few nights before. And ABC Entertains as well.
Surely it would have been better to have PA first then a Fisk rerun.
Planeteers! Polls suggest this could be the closest election in a generation. We’ll look at the Nazi echoes in Trump’s campaign closer and find out what @LarrySabato’s crystal ball is showing as we head into the final week.
Season final is Wednesday, 27 November. Perhaps back for the inauguration.
Planet America will be back in 2025
Tonight we’ll look at the first major setback for President-elect Trump, and talk to former US Ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor about Russian escallation threats… including nuclear sabre rattling.
PK would be great at anything she turns her hand to, but this is incorrect, she wont be hosting Planet America or BTN - but will certainly be on Afternoon Briefing. https://t.co/maBbxFMsp6
