In a further move to appease the Indian community following the attacks on students, the SBS TV channel has launched the Hindi News service on their World Watch schedule since the beginning of the month. However, it was formally launched on 23 February 2010 at the SBS Sydney Headquarters by Mrs Sujatha Singh, High Commissioner of India in Australia and Shaun Brown, Managing Director, SBS in the presence of senior SBS staff and various community leaders.
The Doordarshan capsule of News in Hindi and English can be viewed from
Mon – Sat: 11am on SBS ONE (rpt 5:20pm on SBS TWO) and Sundays: 11:00am on SBS TWO
SBS Hindi Radio is broadcast in Melbourne (93.1fm) and Sydney (97.7 fm). Sundays 9:00 am, Mondays 3:00pm and Wednesdays 12noon.
Although it is a good beginning but it has been observed the DD news capsule is not long enough to fill the half hour slot and SBS has to use filler items.
Also starting Monday MArch 1, 2010 to Friday March 5 SBS — II will show bollywood movies from 21.00 hrs.
