SBS marks its 50th anniversary in 2025, looking back with rare audio recordings

SBS50 - 50 Years of Belonging

SBS has evolved from a three-month trial program launched in 1975 to become the world's most linguistically diverse broadcaster. As SBS turns 50 in 2025, join us in reflecting on its history through a Japanese podcast, tracing its journey alongside changes in Australia and the world. The podcast features historically significant audio recordings.


In June 2025, SBS Japanese commemorated SBS's 50th anniversary by broadcasting a special program from the Gold Coast.
