 About SBS Online

SBS offers Commissioned Content to its online audience via a Catch-Up TV service, SBS On Demand. Additionally, SBS welcomes multiplatform ideas from TV producers and, in some cases, commissions single-platform ‘web-only’ projects.

    * The SBS network receives 1.5m UBs per month.
    * The audience views 2.4m videos per month.

SBS Online: An Evolving Audience
The SBS Online audience has traditionally been seen as a subset of our TV audience.
 
We are tasked with helping ‘hold’ the TV position in an increasingly fragmented market and continue to attract new audience online.

A key benefit of online is the opportunity it affords to connect content with relevant audiences, particularly those with specific needs.
