SBS unveils plans for what Michael Ebeid says will be the broadcaster’s ‘boldest, most distinctive year yet’
SBS has unveiled its programming slate for 2017 in what CEO and managing director Michael Ebeid has said will be the public broadcaster’s “boldest, most distinctive year yet”.
At the heart of the announcement is today’s switch-on of SBS Viceland at 4:00pm, which sees SBS2 favourites such as The Feed feature alongside imported shows such as Viceland’s Ellen Page and Ian Daniel’s Emmy-nominated exploration of LGBTQI cultures around the world in Gaycation.
Speaking to Mumbrella on the sideline of today’s event, Jay Rosenstock, Viceland international president, said Australia was also a top market they wanted to launch the TV brand into.
