Hinch Live is an Australian television current affairs and commentary program, broadcast on Sky News Australia and hosted by Derryn Hinch. The program airs as a twice weekly program on Saturday and Sunday nights, and was originally scheduled to premiere on 31 January 2015,[1] however the launch date was moved back a day to 1 February 2015.[2]

The format is a continuation of weeknight Sky News program Paul Murray Live, which Hinch had been both guest host and a regular contributor.[3]

Natasha Chadwick, who was a producer on the program as well as married to host Derryn, quit the program on 27 March 2015 following the couple's separation.[4]

Despite announcing his intention to stand for a Senate seat as head of the Derryn Hinch Justice Party in October 2015, Hinch will remain as host of Hinch Live until the election campaign, in a decision supported by Sky News.[5]

The show's final episode aired on 24 April 2016, ahead of the impending 2016 election campaign, with Hinch telling viewers the show was entering either "semi or permanent recess" depending on Hinch's success in winning a Senate position.[6]
