SBS ‘can’t afford’ comedy programs
Australia’s specialist and multicultural broadcaster, SBS, has conceded it can’t commission comedy programs on television due to brutal budgets and the ABC’s strength in the sector.
SBS said it was forced to turn only to factual programs to sustain itself, and has only just made it back into dramatic fiction via an intense cost-cutting regime. As such, it simply doesn’t have the bandwidth to return to comedy.
SBS doesn’t have the budget to make you laugh
No attempts at local comedy on SBS? For this relief, much thanks.
SBS is over a barrell. So no comedy channell and must resort to the fictionall.
Dreadfull, awfull, not at all desirabell.
