'''''The Colonial Gang''''' is a wireless current affairs and talk show broadcast within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] established in the aftermath of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

The first broadcast by the show is held during the interim [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] selection aboard ''[[Cloud 9]]''. 

The program is hosted by three of the self-styled "only legitimate journalists left in the universe":
*[[James McManus]], formerly of the ''[[Caprica Times]]''
*[[Playa Palacios]], a former veteran columnist with the ''[[Picon Star Tribune]]''
*[[Sekou Hamilton]], the former editor of the ''[[Aerelon Gazette]]''

Both Hamilton and Palacios are supporters of [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]], while McManus is deliberately outspoken against her abilities, possibly for the sake of heated debate in order to generate an audience ([[Colonial Day]]).

While the hosts continue their duties as members of the press corps, it remains unspecified how long the conjoined broadcast remained in operation as it is unreferenced following the first post-Fall [[Colonial Day (holiday)|Colonial Day]].
