The Daily Show with John Stewart
...used to be a favourite of mine. Its producer, Comedy Central, used to make it available to people here in the UK on their website. Some time ago, it posted an apology, stating that it doesn't make the show available online in territories where it had licensed the rights to broadcast to a 3rd party. Which is perfectly reasonable - I could watch it on Channel 4's 4OD service, and take in their advertising. That is until Channel 4 ditched the show from their schedule in favour of something with Charlie Brooker in it.
Comedy Central haven't reinstated the service on their website (including the archive of old shows which Channel 4 never provided access to) at the request of Channel 4. Channel 4 are playing stupid and claimed, in an email to me, that they have no influence on Comedy Central's policy. It's a dog-in-the-manger situation. What happened to you, Channel 4? you used to be cool! [a long time ago, before Big Brother]
Its been a while since I've looked about for a work around.... I got halfway down a list of possible proxies, but gave up...
