‘Daily Show’ clips return to websites
Viacom has decided to let new episodes of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Colbert Report” be shown on its websites, easing a blockade of online viewings that it imposed last week in a fee dispute with DirecTV.
Tuesday’s move came a day after both shows resumed new episodes. The blockade had affected all online viewers, not just DirecTV subscribers. Stewart ripped the Comedy Central network owner in a segment that aired Monday night, saying: “You’re pulling shows from the Internet? Viacom, what are you, China?”
