What multichannel services are the ABC and SBS offering?
The ABC is proposing to offer digital audiences a number of new television channels during the next few years. The channels will offer audiences specialist programs that are not well catered for in the existing television schedules. The first of the new services will be for children and young Australians.
SBS broadcasts two additional program channels – SBS World News and SBS Essential. SBS World News broadcasts news bulletins in 15 different lanuages, 5.00am to midnight, seven days a week. SBS Essential is a program guide channel, and provides the day’s program line-up, and latest news and weather.
