The Special Broadcasting Service (特別廣播服務公司), or SBS, is an Australian hybrid-funded public service broadcaster established in 1978, with approximately 80 percent of funding derived from tax revenue. Originally founded in 1975 as an experimental radio network serving ethnic minority communities following the end of the White Australia Policy, SBS expanded into television in 1980 with its stated purpose “to provide multilingual and multicultural radio and television services that inform, educate and entertain all Australians and, in doing so, reflect Australia’s multicultural society.” Operating as an independent statutory authority under the Special Broadcasting Service Act 1991, SBS runs six television channels (SBS, SBS Viceland, SBS World Movies, SBS Food, NITV and SBS WorldWatch) and seven radio networks, including multilingual services in over 60 languages, alongside the SBS On Demand streaming platform.
