▀ SBS3 and SBS 41, to launch in 2013 ▀
▀ THE LAST 583 DAYS ▀
One would have thought that they could have at least launched these
two new channels by the end of 2012.
By that time there will be a myriad of alternative new choices
available on FTA, so SBS could very well be left behind.

SBS3 and SBS 41, to launch in 2013
OPTION 1 – by genre
SBS 3 – Stories that go deeper
• Adding depth and context to significant stories
International documentary strands, investigative reporting,
international news and current affairs, live and long-running sporting
events that better inform audiences and take them deeper into their
interests than can be offered on the main channel.
SBS will provide international perspectives on significant issues,
such as French documentaries about religion in schools, African
current affairs programs about aid and development, Chinese-language
programming about climate change and behind the scenes on preparations
for international sports events. SBS 3 will enable audiences to access
different perspectives and in-depth coverage beyond the sound grab, in
its original language, made accessible through subtitling.
SBS 4 – Unexpected stories
• Stories you would not know to search for
Exciting forms and genres curated for you beyond the barriers of
language or geography. In an era of on-demand and user-led services,
SBS will have a role in seeking out the best local international
stories that will surprise and enrich the media experiences of
audiences via subtitled original content.
A range of international comedy, animation, short film, soap opera,
quirky game and lifestyle shows, ‘cult’ and new international movies.
On SBS 4, audiences will watch their favourite Latin American
telenovellas, Japanese anime, emerging Australian animators and a
range of new, rich and engaging content navigated through the
electronic program guide.
OPTION 2 – by language
SBS 3 – Asia focus
• New and exciting stories from our region
A range of content from the rich continent of Asia, including film,
documentary, entertainment, drama and comedy from our Asian neighbours
allowing deeper exploration of Asia than can be catered to on the main
channel.
A range of content from Indian film,
to Japanese anime to Korean soap opera, as well as in-depth current
affairs and documentary on issues relevant to our region - including
climate change, human rights, international migration and global
business - allowing in-depth coverage in its original language, made
accessible to all Australians through subtitling.
SBS 4 – Europe focus
• Stories from the new Europe
Programming that explores the diverse cultures of Europe, with a
deeper view of the social, cultural and political issues facing this
changing continent.
A range of European comedy, soap opera, ‘cult’ and new movies, current
affairs and documentary exploring the varied cultural forms of the new
European Union. On SBS 4, audiences will watch the best of Spanish
film, French documentary, Russian comedy and food, travel, current
affairs and arts programs that explore the diverse cultural forms and
current issues of Europe.
In this option, SBS World would be adjusted to focus on regions
outside Asia and Europe including, for example, the Middle East and
Africa.
Deepening the range and variety of international, subtitled
programming SBS offers, navigated by audiences by language, cultural
form or genre. SBS will undertake consultation on and analysis of two
options:

How much extra quality programming do they have?
Sylvia.

Not much.
Pretty much half of the NZ Freeview channels are 'niche' channels.
I gave up on the hope of 'quality' on Free-to-air TV back in February
when I subscribed
to the Platinum HD package on Foxtel cable.

The best thing about NZ's Freeview is that if you take the satellite
option (it's also available in HD terrestially) you stumble across
SBS1 & SBS2! Both are viewable throughout NZ and are most welcome.
Sorry to see them disappear in a couple of years....

We have a few special interest channels and three commercial
broadcasters ie, TVNZ, Mediaworks and sky.
The main problem is TVNZ is the main dictating force behind the stupid
decision to use AAC audio and an MHEG only guide on DVB-T making our
receivers much more expensive than the Aussie ones. It also cuts out
cheaper STBs from being usable down here.
Also TVNZ have two full HD channels and two SD channels on the same 8
MHz band which is starving the bit rate for the channels.
The satellite version is worse since they only use two transponders with
one being TVNZ only and the other is overloaded with everything else. At
least the Aussie government half own C1 so their cost of using more than
two TPs is a lot less for crappy VAST (Aurora replacement) service.
Trust me it was a smarter idea for Aussie broadcasters to stick with
MPEG-2 and only one HD channel each. Plus most big budget shows are
still shot on film due to the better color and light control of the
capture. They are transferred to HD for distribution and then
re-compressed during broadcast to a lower bit rate so the quality of the
broadcast will look the same whether it's 720p or 1080i. Also HD
content is still expensive to get via satellite.
I would love for shows to be in the original 24 frames instead of the
pulled up to 30 frames and pulled down to 25 frames we still get today.
Come on analogue PAL/NTSC tuners are dead or dying!!!!!!
BTW, Aussie has legal tv show downloads on itunes. NZ has zip. So the
only way we can download shows is the pirate way. Especially since I
don't want the whole season of certain shows. And the comprised FHA
widescreen of DVDs and the Blueray tax just plain stinks!!!
