Via The Guardian: “Vice is expanding its existing operations in Australia, which have existed since 2003, through a deal with broadcaster SBS to launch Viceland free-to-air later this year.”
EDIT: Mediaweek reports that VICELAND will replace SBS2 from “late 2016”.
I am still amazed why Viceland HD is not available on Foxtel IQ3 FTA tuner but the SD version is.Now I can understand if they show different content but they are identical so who is stopping the HD version ?
I’m guessing that Foxtel simply haven’t bothered to add SBS VICELAND HD to their lineup due to a lack of demand from viewers (which probably isn’t surprising for a channel that often gets an 6pm-midnight audience share of less than 1% in metro areas) and/or laziness.
