Target: SBS Management in Australia
Sponsored by: Mannie De Saxe
SBS television was started in Australia some 30 years ago to assist the multicultural aspects of modern Australia's changing demographics. SBS was funded by the federal government but successive governments reduced their budget, so SBS began putting commercial advertising at the beginning and end of their programmes in order to raise revenue.
When a new CEO was apponted some 10 years ago, he decided that if the advertisements were played in the middle of programmes, more revenue would be raised for the station.
This ploy failed miserably, and as a consequence SBS lost viewers and the quality of its programmes deteriorated rapidly.
In 2012, SBS has a new management and this petition is to urge the new team to drop the advertisments in the middle of programmes. SBS used to have the best news bulletins of all tv stations in Australia, and, because of the advertisements, it has lost continuity and quality - and some of its best newsreaders!
We are hoping to get enough signatures on this petition to induce SBS management to reconsider, and restore the service to its former glory!
