Happy News Year
8:30pm Wednesday, 31 Dec 2008 

The Chaser's Chris Taylor takes a whimsical look at the people and pictures that made 2008 a year we'll always remember... or would rather forget.

It's been a momentous year: America elected its first black president, China presented the Olympics and its modern face to the world and the greatest crisis in almost a century devoured the international financial system. Meanwhile in Australia, the flavour of ice cream in one pub and the colour of a politician's language in another dominated the news.

Brendan Nelson, John McCain and the Australian men's swimming team all vied for the title of most regrettable year... and a movie's title humbly suggested it was as big as the nation.

Happy News Year is a humorous review of 2008.

while flipping through the tv guide tonight, i noticed that it will be repeated on abc1 on january 1 at 10pm.

should be pretty interesting, i guess. i'm hoping it will be better than the lame 'what a year' type shows that channel 9 will inevitably air :roll:

You don't need HD, only a SD set top box to watch ABC2,
On the other hand Ch7HD, CH9HD and Ch10HD you need HD set top box to see.
Mostly the last three channels are the same as normal Ch7, 9 or 10, except with some additional absolute crap, with some occasional additional programs worth viewing on there

I took the leap to assume that Mez meant "thank goodness I now have digital TV, which quite incidentally happens to be HD rather than SD" :roll:
