The Chaser’s War on Everything did their second Famous Face Off this week, and in my home town of all places. The first one was Morecroft vs Tynan in an autocue read-off, this week though its National’s Senator Barnaby Joyce vs Family First Senator Steve Fielding in a soccer block-off on issues of gay marriage, tax cuts and the sale of Telstra.

The Chaser’s War on iPod
Triple J’s Hack current affairs program did a story this week about how Australian’s are now the biggest downloaders of TV in the world. And who can blame us?
With Ten, Nine and Seven too busy protecting their ad revenue to offer downloads I think ABC has the perfect opportunity to step up and offer video downloads. I wouldn’t mind them charging us for it through iTunes, or just video podcasting them for free. Either way, to get the ball rolling.. last nights entire episode of The Chaser’s War on Everything.

Chris Taylor and the Chaser team take the idea behind that shitty Moove milk ad and try to get some girl’s phone numbers.
Very funny, and very well done.

Every week on The Chaser’s War on Everything Anderew Hansen has done this segment called ‘Surprise Spruiker’. He describes the spruiker as the guy that stands out the front of $2 shops on a mic yelling “bargains, bargains, bargains”.
He thinks that there are places that could use this kind of salesman, and so far he’s visited; Giorgio Armani, Department of Workplace Relations, Department of Immigration and The Australian Wheat Board with his microphone and speaker.
This week’s episode though, he visited Channel 9.

ABC2, the digital sibling of Australia’s national broadcaster launched one year ago today.
Personally I watch it more then some free to air channels, and the idents that accompanied the launch were the catalyst for me finally starting this blog. Currently the station doesn’t have any live telecasts, and is still restricted in its content (thanks to legislation), but even with its problems; the Sunday morning Rage’s, every state’s Stateline, Lateline in the morning, and never missing a Media Watch have made ABC2’s first year in existance more then worth it for me.
Its shown just a small taste of what multichanneling can bring, and I can’t wait for ABC Three or ABCNews 24, when/if they should ever arrive.
I captured this promo for abc.net.au on ABC2 this afternoon.
