SBS has in recent years expanded its local news production. They’ve rolled out daily news wraps and podcasts to engage new audiences. The network now provides two distinct daily wraps: “On the Money,” a ten-minute finance and business news segment hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves, and “News in English,” a five-minute wrap specifically designed for English learners and individuals with disabilities.
On the Money provides critical perspectives on financial markets, business trends and economic developments. Each episode is designed and scripted to provide listeners with a high level, bite size glimpse into each. This alone makes it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in staying on top of our constantly shifting financial landscape. The show, which is produced in collaboration with Gonçalves’ class, hopes to demystify convoluted financial concepts for listeners from all walks of life.
News in English serves as an accessible platform and provides a finance-centered wrap as well. It serves an audience that has difficulty consuming the traditional formats of news. This five-minute segment offers straightforward news updates, ensuring that English learners and individuals with disabilities can easily engage with current events. By adapting content to speak to audiences in different ways, SBS is setting an example of how news organizations can center inclusivity in their reporting.
Listen to both “On the Money” and “News in English” on the SBS website. Subscribers will find a special section exclusively featuring news podcasts. For those who like to experience these programs through their favorite podcast apps, SBS has worked to make these shows easily accessible to everyone on all podcast platforms.

SBS’s initiative reflects a growing demand for accessible news content, particularly in an age where information consumption continues to evolve. To reach new audiences, SBS provides daily wraps and podcasts. This new initiative is further establishing its reputation as a crucial, independent source for accurate, nonpartisan and reliable news to all.
