The Colonial Gang
The Colonial Gang is a wireless current affairs and talk show broadcast within the 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 selection aboard Cloud Nine.
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 President Roslin, while McManus is deliberately outspoken against her abilities, possibly for the sake of heated debate in order to generate an audience (TRS: "Colonial Day").
While the hosts continue their duties as members of the press corps, it remains unspecified how long the broadcast remained in operation, as it is unreferenced following the aforementioned events.
Notes
- The name may be a pun on the political discussion television show The Capital Gang[1], which formerly aired on CNN during the episode's first airing.
