Vice magazine’s online TV network VBS.TV has signed a deal with the ABC which sees its content available on the iView video player from next Monday.

The five part series The Vice Guide To Film, feature length documentary Heavy Metal in Baghdad and Australian produced Heavy Metal Gangs of Wadeye are among the content that will be available on ABC iView.

Penny Wright, the ABC’s Internet Broadcast Program Manager, said: “Our iView audience tends to skew younger than the traditional ABC TV audience, and they particularly love documentaries and programs such as Doctor Who, The IT Crowd and John Safran’s Race Relations, so we think The Vice Guide to Film is a great fit.”
