SBS do show Al Jazeera reports on the 6.30pm World News bulletin. In the past SBS would have shown the AJ logo beside the in-house graphics if these reports were screened.

1 News at Midday’s appearance on SBS Viceland is going to be short-lived, with TVNZ confirming today that the bulletin will be axed as part of costcutting measures at the broadcaster (see 1 News NZ thread for more discussions).

Weird choice to drop 6 but not Midday considering that bulletin is being axed?

Maybe soon TVNZ will follow suit :crazy_face:

I am thinking the same.

Could SBS restore 1 News at Six AFTER the midday bulletin ends?

UPDATE: TV Tonight’s David Knox posted this afternoon that SBS had advised 1 News at Six was out due to scheduling conflicts.

I notice that TVB 6.30pm News from Hong Kong has been quietly dropped from the Worldwatch schedule. It has been airing late nights since the channel began. However, the bulletins are still available on SBS on Demand website.
