In Canberra channel 32 is still Viceland SD at the moment.
Literally the same for me. Maybe SBS World Movies will only see a accidental soft-launch through Foxtel and Metro Free-To-AirâŚ
So i guess itâll just be a free-to-air channel then.
what?
He thinks Foxtel can âaccidentallyâ start broadcasting a new channel.
No, itâs that Canberra doesnât have the promo loop yet and SD Viceland is still there (basically downconverted HD from what I saw), even the LCN hasnât changed!
What does Canberraâs situation have to do with Foxtel?
SBS are trying to avoid being government-funded and launch new channels in metro areas only since Prime didnât pick up 7Food Network quickly following the SBS Food rebrand, and thatâs why SBS Viceland SD is still there in some areas. At least thatâs my theory
Whatâs SBS got to do with Prime carrying the food network? There has been no mention from SBS that World Movies is not being carried in regional markets
This does not make sense
I just thought SBS World Movies was just being launched because it deserves to be on Free to air, and we actually have a movie channel that doesnât just play american movies?
Loving the conspiracy theories but i donât think SBS are really doing anything involving the government. Can you explain how you came to this conclusion?
Even though SBS was possibly the one major Australian broadcaster he wasnât seen on, how sad is it to hear that Bill Collins (whoâs long career and the memories of it, Iâm sure will generate some discussion in the TV History sections of these forums soon) wonât get to see the launch of SBS World Movies on July 1?!
Now donât get me wrong, Iâm sure not all the films which are expected to be played on the SBS World Movies channel would be to Billâs own personal tastes. But at the same time, I think heâd also be happy that TV viewers without access to Foxtel will soon be able to watch at least one channel dedicated to movies.
Why does that even matter? Why would you preface your comment with that?
Why would you relate his death today with the World Movies channel?
Proving to @JBar I know how to use Google, Bill Collins did appear on SBS reviewing movies.

Maybe becauseâŚSBS World Movies is the countryâs first free to air movies channel and Bill Collins was passionate about movies?
Just thought Iâd make an interesting observation, no disrespect or malice intended.
Well in that case, I stand corrected and have learnt something new! 
Like Bill Collinsâ stint presenting movies for WIN Television, I donât think his guest appearances on SBS were mentioned in many of the media tributes.
Yay!
