S03E31 The Chaser's War on the ABC, Melbourne turns on Allison Langdon & Musher for 6pm?

Summary: In a week where Nine announced some big changes to their catch-up service, we thought it best to go straight to the source and get Nine programmer Hamish Tuner in to talk us through what it all means. 9Now is is changing the game and it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Meanwhile, there's still the usual fights between the panel and stuff-ups plus (hopefully) some insightful commentary about the TV stories making news this week.
