Programming note: Adam vs The Man a brand-new weekday show on Russia Today with former American marine Adam Kokesh as presenter.


Russia Today (DStv 405) is one of those TV channels which MultiChoice's DStv has, but will never provide any programming information for or even give a electronic programme guide (EPG) listing (its always blank everywhere) - even though it exists.

How viewers are supposed to know what's on when on the 24 hour news channel Russia Today or set a PVR, is almost impossible. But I digress.

Adam vs The Man is a brand-new show that started on Russia Today yesterday. Adam vs the Man is a weekday show at 01:00 (South African time) and is a youth centered political programme presenterd by the United States Marine veteran Adam Kokesh. "As an alternative media source often interacting with independent journalists and controversial opinion makers, RT has become a major player in the battle for information in recent years,'' says Margarita Simonyan, RT's editor in chief of the Moscow based news channel.

Adam Kokesh is a former United States Marine who became a leader in the American anti-war movement and a congressional candidate who captured the voice of the youth and liberty movements across America.
