IS THE CHASER LEAVING THE ABC? (ANOTHER UPDATE)

ANOTHER ANNOYING UPDATE


Chas Licciardello will be appearing on The 7pm Project tonight on Channel Ten!

It seems like the Chaser is making an effort to try to fix their image... hmm...




UPDATE


We here at ~Chaser-Chasers are still unhappy that the Chaser might move to paid TV, but in the mean time, the Chaser are still floating around the ABC.

Andrew Hansen will be hosting his very own series on the ABC called Strictly Speaking. By the sounds of it, it will be an Australian-Idol-like search for Australia’s Best Public Speaker. The series should come to air around early 2010, with filming to have been taken place in 2010. In addition, he does the voiceovers for The First Tuesday Bookclub, so tune into that for your monthly Andrew fix!

Click this [link] for more details on Strictly Speaking.

Plus, Chris Taylor hosted a short-documentary series called Australia's Heritage: National Treasures
on the ABC. Check youtube out for the episodes.

Plus, the Chaser seem to be hanging around Channel Ten lately with Andrew Hansen appearing on Good News Week, plus Andrew, Chas and Chris appeared on Rove on Saturday. But I only tuned in when they were at the end of their apperances, so if anyone did hear what they said, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared what you heard!

That's all for now,

Older news

In news just to hand, apparently the Chaser is thinking of moving to the Comedy Channel. In addition to that, re-runs of The Chaser's War on Everything will be run on pay-TV Foxtel.

According to Brian Walsh, who is the executive director of television and marketing at Foxtel: “The Chaser, the ABC’s often controversial hit, is moving from the ABC to STV.“

What do you guys think? Will a move from a public broadcasting to private tellie suit the Chaser? Will it annoy the sh*t out of people (like me) who don't have paid tellie? :(

(Plus, in the random news, you would have heard about the Hey Hey it' Saturday controversy with the Jackson Jive musical group who appeared on the TV with blacken faces. I'm betting that the Chaser is glad that the media didn't know about a similar sketch they did for the 2007 The Chaser Decides program (episode 2).

So what's happening to the club? :( Technically, you'd still be chasing The Chaser if you covered the new series. :nod:

By the way, I hope you're feeling better. :)

No idea. but it was probably chris himself as he does do a lot of writing on the war... but he employed security guards because he was worried about death threats and people wanting to get back at them for the sketch! so sad :(

XD Oh dear... I'm glad they apologised for it, though. I hate to see creativity stifled - it really limits what they can do. I mean the APEC stunt is a classic. XD Sometimes you just don't know how it would go down with people. XD

(I was pissed off when Chris??? divorced his wife like that, though) To each their own. :)
