My regular shows I watch there are Media Watch, Four Corners, any doco I’ve missed that looks interesting and random stuff from ABC2 that I completely forgot was on.
It’s a great idea I wish more channels would take it up.
ABC’s free downloads for Media Watch eps have been a blessing, given the show’s in a timeslot where there’s been a lot going on throughout the year for many of the other channels. So not surprised it’s the second most popular vodcast offering.
PS3 !!!
There is quite a big jump in viewers between the top 3 and bottom 2.
Nerds use iView? Who would have guessed?!
wow those are huge numbers for Good Game, just shows what you can do with a legal site that works without extra software and is unmetered to many users.
The commercial networks can take a lesson from the ABC.
