Dude.

The Colbert Report wasn’t in widescreen I guess ABC paid for a cheaper SD 4:3 version or something

@John

Have you tried a VPN service like Hotspot Shield? (plus you’ll probably want Firefox so as to use Adblock) Some potentially useful info here…

If Conroy gets his way you’ll be wanting one soon enough anyway :-/

10 had the rights to the Daily Show the last time I looked. That info is getting on a bit now though. (pinched it off SBS must be a couple years back now)

Not that they’ve done anything useful with it at any point. They seem to think they can get higher ratings with tired repeats of Malcolm than with a cutting edge show at its peak. *shrug*

Both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report start airing in HD from January 4. So the ABC2 version should at least be in widescreen.

@John. You can still watch online, just not the “full episode” links. You can still watch the individual segments that make up an episode.

This is great news!!! You used to be able to watch it online until they restricted access to US internet services. Any chance the Daily show could also be regularly aired? I think SBS used to have the rights.

Great news. Goodbye Foxtel.

Hope one of the FTA networks picks up The Soup & doesn’t butcher it like E! Australia has.

Silly going up against 7:30 Rpt on ABC1. It should be at 8.

@tomothy – Not everyone has pay tv !!! myself included.

These digital channels GO!, ABC 2/3 and Seven Two are getting better and better .

I wasn’t expecting it so soon. Finally something to watch at 7.30pm rather than 2.5 men , factuals, or the Simpsons.

Great news. Probably the funniest show over ther last 5 years.

Any chance of getting the daily show beforehand as well? Seems odd for only one to come across.

Brilliant – watch it every day on Comedy Channel and it’s a fantastic show. Would be great if they (ABC2) got Daily Show to accompany it though…
