Yesterday, we posted a note about the new documentary<\/a>, “Australia Calling: 80 Years of International Broadcasting<\/strong>.” At the time, I mentioned that the video was geo-blocked–meaning, you could not watch the video outside Australia without using a VPN.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Peter Marks<\/a>, who shares this great news:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve corresponded with the iview team and they have un-geoblocked the video. It can be watched here:<\/p>\n

I tested it over a VPN to Singapore and it played for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks so much, Peter! I’ve loaded the video with no problems here in North America.<\/p>\n
