I'm a strong believer in the value of licenses like Creative Commons, and I take them seriously. If there is no way to continue the Oh No news without violating the license, then as much as I love it, I would vote to stop it. Is there absolutely no way of continuing it without a license violation, though? Could a simple change in the show bring it into compliance. As far as I am aware, you cannot copyright facts, and much of what SGOTI does in this show is to state that such-and-such happened. Where I would think a problem would arise is in direct quoting of someone else's copyrighted material, and even that can be a gray area if the source is cited and only a little bit is quoted. So my preference would be to look into how SGOTI can continue his show while being in legal compliance. But if that is not possible, then I reluctantly come down on the side of license compliance.
