SBS has deepened its news and current affairs programming, led by a suite of new audio offerings targeted at multicultural audiences. Among these new offerings are “On the Money,” a daily ten-minute finance and business news wrap, and “News in English,” a five-minute news summary designed for English learners and individuals with disabilities. These initiatives are a testament to SBS’s dedication to producing news that is both accessible and enriching to everyone.
“In a rapidly changing world, it is essential that our audience has access to concise and relevant news,” stated Ricardo Gonçalves, the Finance Editor at SBS. He spoke about how key “On the Money” has been during the pandemic in delivering immediate, concise metrics from our financial markets and business community. This program is tailored for those who may not have the time to consume longer news articles, offering a digestible format that fits into busy schedules.
Besides producing OTM, the Spanish “News in English” wrap also plays an important role in connecting communities across the language divide. This five-minute wrap-up brings you today’s top news stories in easy-to-understand English. It allows non-native speakers and people with disabilities to better follow along with this crucial event. By addressing these targeted needs, SBS hopes to foster a more equitable space for its audience and community members.

The organization has made its news podcasts available on various popular podcast platforms, ensuring that listeners can access them conveniently. Audiences can access a range of these podcasts on their favorite apps, expanding the reach of SBS’s award-winning news content.
