Could the ABC release a CD/DVD ‘Tony Jones Presents Music As Seen On Q&A’? If they did, this would definitely be on it.

Oh goodie… Because if it’s one thing Q&A hasn’t talked about to death it’s same sex marriage

All smiles and laughter before tonight’s program.
Alan Jones had the final say on Q&A, giving a very warm reminiscence of fellow panelist Kevin Rudd … it was so odd that Tony Jones thought the Sound of Music theme was going to play.
From 1:05:00 on this video on Twitter. For me it only works on the Twitter app.

So this confirms live broadcast on ABC News channel in QLD, SA, WA and NT has been dropped due to Matter of Fact not finishing until 9.45pm. This will disadvantage viewers in these regions who will now have to stream the show on iView.
Wasn’t the Q&A simulcast dropped from ABC News 24 (as the channel would’ve been still known as then) a year or two ago but brought back for the non-AEDST versions of the channel after viewer complaints?
Presuming that’s the case, I wonder if the same will happen again this time…

Tonight’s episode is also being streamed live on Periscope according to the show’s Twitter account. I can’t remember any other Australian shows utilising Periscope.
