The Chas-iasco made the evening news! I missed Channel Ten but my brother told me he saw a story on it, and I don’t think it made Nine (while still fitting in a Dancing on Ice story), and of course the ABC wasn’t about to pretend it didn’t happen. The Seven report actually isn’t that bad and draws attention to the point Chas was trying to make with the prank.

With the show’s slightly earlier timeslot and Morris Iemma’s otherwise approval it will be interesting to see how next weeks rates.

Hypocracy and hyperbole, another hilarious attack on A Current Affair and Today Tonight. If you didn’t see it, download! The At The Movies bit is probably one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the Chaser to date.

First they deconstructed the new ABC idents with their directors commentary now they’re putting their own spin on consumer advice.

So that would make this weeks episode an M15+ with L S E FO U and PM.

Tonight’s Chaser: Chris Taylor on ABC Canberra

Every Friday morning I used to hear my mother of all people tell me about what was going to be on tonights episode of the Chaser’s War. It turns out she was getting all her information from Chris Taylor who’s been talking to Ross Solly on ABC local radio once a week since the show started. (Although Rod Quinn is filling in this week).

Cutting out the middleman (my mum), above is this mornings interview recorded at 7.15am. And don’t forget the Chaser is on tonight at the earlybird timeslot of 9:40pm (compared to the usual 10:15pm).

Also Chris and Craig return to triple j starting this Sunday afternoon for four weeks in a new show, Bloody Sunday.

Communications Minister Helen Coonan today unveiled her media reform plan. Its not all good, and its going to be far from quick, but the one good thing that might come out of it is multichanneling, albeit in 4-5 years. The video is ABC’s coverage of todays announcement.
