As expected, The Feed had it’s 2nd graphics relaunch of 2016 tonight to coincide with the SBS2 > SBS VICELAND rebrand. Interestingly, the theme music has been changed along with the graphics.

Didn’t see it. Is it still less than slick?

SBS has made a mock up ad of the Australian Finance Department’s shocker.
Gays & Guns is produced by the award-winning team behind daily news and culture program, The Feed.
Has The Feed been canned for next year? SBS release says “documentaries from The Feed team”, but no mention of regular nightly episodes?
Of course we’ll just have to wait and see what happens, but the press release also didn’t mention SBS World News, Dateline or Insight despite there being a rather high chance of those programs returning to our screens next year.
14 February SBS Viceland
Not sure what to make of this move. On one hand, the new weekly format allows the show to focus on what it does best (long-form stories/features). On the other hand, the previous format (the Monday - Thursday shows) was a unique offering in the news landscape

I think a weekly format would be more cost effective and sustainable, given the show’s FTA ratings.
The Few Who Do

The cameo by Mark is very funny, what a legend.
The Feed moves to SBS in 2020 according to the SBS Upfronts today.
Continuing this in the right thread…
Yes.

The Feed will air on SBS at 10pm Tuesdays following Insight and Dateline. According to SBS Channel Manager Ben Nguyen:
I was involved when we launched it on SBS2 seven years ago. When things really showcase what SBS can do, it’s great to be able to put them on our biggest platform.
We want to work really hard on pulling audiences through the night, from one to the other, and so introducing audiences that maybe hadn’t thought that The Feed was something for them is something we’re conscious about.
We’ll take a break mid-year for the Tour de France, but otherwise it runs through the year.
