Russian TV news channel Rossiya 24 has aired a trailer for a weekend show featuring former Fox News journalist Tucker Carlson.

The state-run broadcaster did not make clear whether it will feature original content or be a translation of his regular English-language videos on X.

Carlson abruptly left Fox News in April where his populist conservative takes were renowned.

Rossiya 24 has not yet said when the show will air.

The advert, first shared earlier this month, aired again on 22 September with the words "on the weekend" but no further details.

It's right wing populism. It's the second Lavender Scare. Populism has never worked, it's too chaotic. But that's what regular folks are goaded into by people like Tucker Carlson. He's a multimillionaire being paid to defend billionaires. He is the wealthy owner class he screams about on TV.
