James Packer has returned to the world of media, emerging as a key, multimillion-dollar investor in Alan Jones’ Australian Digital Holdings.

Jones, one of the highest-profile figures in Australian radio, established ADH TV after exiting Sky News Australia and Nine Entertainment’s 2GB Sydney in 2021. Modelled off Newsmax, a right-wing television network in the United States, ADH broadcasts five hours of shows each day hosted by Jones, Family First party director Lyle Shelton and The Australian columnist Nick Cater.
