History

In early 2022, SBS officially launched their own Arabic and Mandarin local news bulletins on SBS On Demand and announced the launch of the WorldWatch channel. [1] The channel would also offer non-English news bulletins in more than 30 languages from around the world; most of these were transferred from the World Watch programming block, which had aired on SBS and SBS Viceland. [4] The channel was launched on 23 May 2022 on channel 35, along with the SBS-produced Arabic and Mandarin bulletins. [2] [3] Both SBS and SBS Viceland continued to air English news bulletins from international news channels in morning and midday timeslots under the current World Watch block. [4]
