A change of scheduling for the Greek program on SBS radio will occur in April next year

A change of scheduling for the Greek program on SBS radio will occur in April next year following a major review of language programs on the station.

As of mid-April 2013, the Greek program will air daily for two hours from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm as opposed to the current time slot of two times a day for an hour each at 7:00 am to 8:00 am and 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

The new radio schedule came after a major review of the SBS Radio Schedule and took into consideration the changing landscape and demographics of Australia which include a drop in numbers of Greek speakers in Australia and the emergence of third and fourth generations over first generations.

SBS has released a new Radio Schedule to be launched on-air in April 2013. The new Radio Schedule will bring the languages broadcast on SBS’s analogue radio service into line with today’s Australia.

The last major review of the SBS Radio Schedule was more than 18 years ago in 1994, and during that time Australia’s demographics have changed significantly.

From April 2013 SBS will provide services for more language communities than ever before. SBS will continue producing content in all languages on the current radio schedule and will introduce six new language programs. The total number of language programs on the new SBS Radio Schedule will increase from 68 to 74 language programs, and SBS will continue to be the most multilingual radio broadcaster in the world.

Below you will find details on the new SBS Radio Schedule including how languages were selected and the new broadcast times from April 2013.
