SBS has a great promo for 2023 which features a remake of the Pat Benatar song “We Belong”, sung by Montaigne.
Do the other networks make promos anymore like Ten, the ABC and SBS do?

Yes, that’s it. Thanks.
I think it looks great. A shame the commercial networks have given up on these. I used to look forward to them every January.

So another St Vincent’s documentary?
And SBS secured production funding from WA government agencies rather than Screen NSW for a documentary about a Sydney hospital? That’s odd.

Some part will be post-produced in WA for that funding.
