Although the first managing director, R.E. Fowell, came from commercial radio, his successor Ron Brown was a professional public servant — but both in their way suited the times. Between Fowell's appointment in 1978 and Ron Brown's departure in 1987, SBS functioned as a start-up public service broadcaster, beginning with a multilingual radio service then adding a fledgling television station.

For example, just after the 1990 election when Ray had been moved to Defence and a new Minister had not yet been appointed, Hawke sacked the Departmental Secretary, Ron Brown. Brown was a competent administrator who enjoyed Ray's full support. Hawke intervened, possibly because Brown was not sufficiently responsive to the demands of ethnic communities (Hartcher, 1991b; Jupp, 1993: 216), or possibly because he wanted to remove Brown's deputy, Tony Harris, a public servant also committed to Ray's control agenda (Burgess, 1993). After Brown was gone, Gerry Hand was given the portfolio.
