Following the closure of the Comedy Central channel on Fetch TV in Australia yesterday, streamer BINGE has swooped in to pick up Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show.
The long-running, satirical late-night talk show, now in its 30th season, will make its streaming debut on the platform tomorrow, with new episodes dropping weekly from Wednesday to Saturday.
While it was expected that Paramount Australia might move the show over to its own streaming platform, Paramount+, they ultimately decided to shop the late-night staple elsewhere.
From Binge:
