Self-styled prophet David Icke is launching his own TV and radio station.
The ex-BBC sports presenter says TVP – The People’s Voice – will “tackle issues ignored by the mainstream media”.
He raised £300,000 to fund the station and says actor Keith Allen and human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell will be contributors.
In 1991, Mr Icke, 61, became a figure of national scorn in 1991 after holding a press conference announcing the world would soon end - he later appeared on Wogans and claimed he was the son of God.
Later, Icke described the Queen as a “reptilian shape-shifter in human form”.
In an interview promoting his new station, he said: “The voice that we hear constantly is that of the authorities, the establishment, the government and increasingly today, the corporations.
“The people’s voice? Silence.
“We want to redress that balance big time, with a global television and radio station, broadcasting out of London, 24/7.
“The information, the background and opinions the main stream media would not touch.
“We want reporters in press conferences asking the questions that main stream media would not dream of asking, in fact, would be terrified of asking.”
He added: “The potential, once you have that amount of airtime, without censorship where you can go, what you can cover is just limited only by imagination.”
The station will be launched on Monday.
