Reviving the SBS? (1 Viewer)

Soccer is the best bit atm +soccer related programs like nerds fc

If I was in charge of revitalising SBS, I would implement the following changes:

- Cut the ethnic crap, if you watch the commercial channels for a while you'll soon learn that everyone in Australia is white, from an Anglo Saxon background and speaks English with an Aussie accent; SBS should change its programming and personnel to reflect this. (Les Murray and Lee Lin Chin have to go)

- More reality shows involving anglo d grade celebs. Washed out TV presenters, sportspeople, political failures or models are figures that the average aussie can relate to. Whether we're watching them dance, ice skate or sing, it's sure to be a hit. Best partnered with gratuitous overhyping on every commercial break.

- More cross promotion. If you watch SBS news, you'll see that not one story is ever about a new program on SBS, instead they focus on global events that most aussies can't understand, and don't care about anyway. A wasted opportunity.

- A nightly tabloid journalism style program is a must. At the moment, concerned mothers can't learn anything about petrol prices, the latest fashion or losing weight from SBS. Not acceptable.

- No more sex in the movies. Don't they think of the children? SBS needs more quality family shows that cater to a family audience.

- All in English. It's our official national language, and anything else is just unaustralian

- Piss off the bloody soccer. There are plenty of second grade AFL or rugby league comps in all states that haven't been picked up by the commercial stations. Aussies can relate to that, not poofters in Europe.

- Hire Bert Newton.

Have I missed anything?

Saturday Night Live / The Daily Show / Colbert are pretty huge programs that no one in Australia's picked up (Idk maybe they have?) It really doesn't fit the SBS vibe but *shrug* it'd make me more likely to watch it. Other than that they should replay epic BBC documentaries such as Cosmos.

edit: As for foreign language programs, it'd be nice for them to provide subtitles or they could just spend some time running the english Al Jazeera

foxtel?

 

[55HS]

foxtel?

Well foxtel has southpark, the simpsons etc as well as foreign language programs etc etc...

Unfortunately SBS is putting all the great movies on the World Movies Channel, edgy dramas/tv shows go to Foxtel because of insane Catholic censorship (raping young boys is okay, showing tits on tv is not) and in general it's frigged. FRIGGED I SAY.

Needs niche shows: anime like Hellsing, a goth hour or something. GET URSELF SOMETHING TO DO.

The Fresh Prince of Bankstown.

fuck Foxtel.

Bring back porn. Bye bye ads. Bring decent comedy; subtitle foreign news.

I'd be all of that.

foxtel's got its fair share of tits and arse.

 

[badquinton304]

Bring back evangelion and Ghost in the shell

Agreed. GitS is awesome.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Forget trying to make Australian drama or comedy. They simply don't have the budget for it and when they have tried the results have been embarrassing (pizza and that pathetic parody of a lifestyle show they had on whose name escapes me).

 

[zstar]

I thought SBS was the only decent tv channel.

The other channels suck.

In reality, would THE FREE MARKET, be able to come up with more entertainment that a Socialist television channel

All the free to air stations are dying, ratings have been declining badly for a long time, 7 and 9 have lost a lot of their market. The ABC is the exception. I hear the ABC is coming close to beating channel ten in rating. Pay tv, and the internet sharing of new tv shows has ruined free to air tv forever.

If trends continue, the major commercial networks are going to find themselves struggling for sponsors and revenue in the future.

i think that tv on demand, such as youtube, is the reason for the downfall in ratings.

 

[all.time.fiend]

i think the increasingly puerile rubbish is the reason for the downfall in ratings

the "common denominator" is too low for even the bogans now... bring back kerry packer

 

[Josip Broz Tito]

SBS is amazing, not like the other bullshit.

But them bringing in ads pissed the shit out of me.

When all this ends, Newstopia will be regarded as one of the greatest television shows of all time
