Following my email to How-To Channel I received the following response:
Hi Matt,
Thanks for your feedback. We recently ended our agreement to show the Lab with Leo Laporte and will be unable to show the last few episodes. While we are pleased to be a niche channel, providing shows that you won’t find anywhere else, programs need to sustain a level interest in order to justify being broadcast. Ongoing audience measurement indicated the Lab with Leo was not in line with viewing preferences of our channel. As you know producers of the program in Canada have also made the decision to end production of The Lab.
The Lab with Leo has officially been canceled, how ever Canadian viewers will be able to see the remaining episodes, yet Australian viewers wont due to the How-To Channel immediately canceling it.
Heres the response I got from the Lab Crew when asking about the show in Australia:
Thank you for writing us.
Production of ‘The Lab with Leo’ has ceased.
New episodes will be airing in Canada until the end of May. However
the HOW-TO Channel has chosen to stop airing the show immediately.
Thanks to Lloydy he has informed me that Senator Collins in this clip is actually a comedian
I stumbled across this video on YouTube, it is an interview with a Senator Collins talking about a tanker which had spilled crude oil into the ocean off the coast of Western Australia. Sen. Colling handles himself so well it equals a laugh. What caused caused the spill? Well the “Front Fell Off”. Have a watch:embedded by WP Embedded Video
Big Brother live stream viewers witnessed the footage on Tuesday night and has now landed on Behind Big Brother Australia, funnily enough it didnt air on their daily show…
Personally, I didn’t think that much of the Emma’s reaction, I just thought it looked like a harmless tap.
