SBS WorldWatch expands: Hindi, Urdu and Portuguese news bulletins
From Monday, 1 February 2010, SBS Television’s WorldWatch service will expand to include three more news bulletins, in Hindi, Urdu and Portuguese.
Claus Hannekum, manager of SBS’s International News Service says:
“WorldWatch is unique to SBS Television. No other public broadcaster in the world offers news bulletins from 26 countries, in 25 languages, to its viewers.
This expansion demonstrates SBS’s continued commitment to informing Australians about the wider world. Those who migrate here can stay in touch with news from their homeland, while others can use WorldWatch to practice their language skills or sample other cultures.
It really is an invaluable service.”
The Hindi news (from public broadcast DDI India) will air:
Mon – Sat at 11am on SBS ONE
Sundays at 11am on SBS TWO
The Urdu news (from public broadcaster PTV Pakistan) will air:
Sundays at 9:30am on SBS ONE
(and repeated at 5:30pm, on SBS TWO)
The Portuguese news (from public broadcaster RTP Portugal) will air:
Mon – Sat at 12:10pm on SBS TWO
Sundays at 9am on SBS ONE
