Special Broadcasting Service (SBS)
As Australia’s most distinctive and multilingual media organisation, SBS holds a unique place in the national media landscape. For 50 years, it has been inspiring all Australians to explore, respect and celebrate our diverse world and in doing so, contributing to an inclusive and cohesive society.
What began in 1975 as radio programs in a handful of languages, has evolved to become the dedicated multicultural and First Nations media organisation SBS is today – an innovative, multiplatform, multilingual national public broadcaster, unlike any other globally, continuously adapting and growing to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse Australian population.
Its multiplatform services span a free-to-air TV portfolio across six distinctive channels – SBS, National Indigenous Television (NITV), SBS VICELAND, SBS Food, SBS World Movies, and SBS WorldWatch; an extensive audio network across more than 60 languages serving culturally and linguistically diverse communities; and an innovative digital offering, including leading streaming destination SBS On Demand, providing a world of programming and live channels to Australians anytime, anywhere.
SBS is recognised as Australia’s most trusted news brand and Australian podcaster of the year for three years running, while SBS On Demand is the top-rated streaming app in Australia in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
