RT LAUNCHES NEW SHOW WITH VETERAN AMERICAN JOURNALIST RICK SANCHEZ
MOSCOW, JUNE 9, 2025 — On June 9th, RT will be premiering a new program, The Sanchez Effect, hosted by renowned American journalist Rick Sanchez. Over the course of his career, Sanchez has worked with major US networks, including CNN, MSNBC, and FOX. Disillusioned with the American establishment, he moved to Russia to work with RT. The new show will be broadcast in English and Spanish. The Sanchez Effect aims to challenge mainstream Western narratives. Rick Sanchez will share his take on global events and engage in discussions with his guests. The premiere episode, airing June 9 at 5:30 p.m. Moscow time, will feature an interview with Russia's top negotiator and presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky. Rick Sanchez is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist; he has interviewed four US presidents, as well as other prominent figures such as Fidel Castro and Mikhail Gorbachev. In 2019, having faced censorship, bias, and one-sided reporting in the US media, he decided to join RT. In 2024, already the host of his own show on the channel, he was forced to step down due to sanctions imposed on RT. In 2025, determined to continue his work despite RT being banned in the US, Sanchez made the decision to move to Moscow. He sees it as his mission to provide viewers with an alternative to the Western media discourse. 'When only one side of a story is permitted, that's when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it's precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we're told not to look,' Sanchez explains. The Sanchez Effect will air Monday through Thursday. Former President of Ecuador Rafael Correa and Kenya's eminent pan-Africanist and anti-colonialism activist professor P.L.O. Lumumba also host shows on RT. Throughout the years, RT has worked with leading international media and public sphere personalities, including broadcasting legend Larry King, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, prolific Indian actor, best-selling author and motivational speaker Anupam Kher, Pulitzer Prize-winning and Emmy-nominated journalist Chris Hedges, the 'most dangerous financial expert' Max Keiser, former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond, legendary football coach José Mourinho, top American veteran journalist Ed Schultz, and French media icon Frédéric Taddeï, among others. With its first international channel launched in 2005, RT is, today, a global TV news network providing breaking stories, current affairs coverage, commentary and documentaries in ten languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Serbian, Chinese, Hindi, Portuguese and Russian; it also includes sister multimedia news agency RUPTLY. RT is the only Russian TV channel to be an eleven-time Emmy finalist. RT is now available to more than 900 million TV viewers in more than 100 countries around the globe. Just in 2024, RT projects received more than 23 billion views online.
