The People's Voice (internet TV station)

The People’s Voice was a free global internet TV & Radio station which broadcast from 25 November 2013 until Mid-2014. The station had its main studio in Wembley, London as well as representatives in the United States.

It was created with a crowdsourcing campaign on the fund-raising platform indiegogo. Its main creator was author David Icke.[1][2][3]

Presenters included Mark Windows, Richie Allen, Sonia Poulton and Kenneth O'Keefe. Guests of the first show included Cynthia McKinney, Norman Finkelstein, Peter Tatchell, Jim Marrs, Gerald Celente, Richard C. Hoagland, Vandana Shiva, Leuren Moret and Leah Bolger. Topics covered tended to be those of interest to Icke's supporters, such as conspiracy theories, alternative medicine, the paranormal, chemtrails and other fringe subjects. Poulton left in early January, following a dispute which she said was about greater transparency of the channel's finances.[4]

In March 2014, David Icke left TPV to concentrate on other work, having committed full-time to the station as an unpaid volunteer since its launch in November 2013. From March 2014, due to financial difficulties, it is believed that the station operated with a skeleton crew and had effectively ceased production of live programming, running repeats of previous programs instead.[5] Despite a brief revival of one of its flagship shows, the Richie Allen show, TPV ceased broadcasting completely in Mid-2014 and filed for liquidation.[6] Despite this, the station continues to maintain an online presence through social media including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The official YouTube channel still features video highlights of TPV's live programming.[7][8][9]

In August 2014, it was announced via the official website that TPV would return in October of the same year, dubbed 'The People's Voice 2.0'. However, as of September 2016, the channel is yet to be revived and no further information has been announced regarding its return.
