Insight and Dateline will return in February as part of SBS' new Tuesday night line-up, and Living Black will be back on Sundays.
Digital platforms were a key part of SBS's growth strategy, the organisation's managing director Michael Ebeid said.

SBS' Director of News and Current Affairs, Paul Cutler, said the division was refreshing its brands and increasing its commitment to editorial content.
“Australian audiences know they can rely on SBS to deliver breaking news with a unique international perspective from some of the best in the business,” he said.
