I am ongoingly surprised as to how few people watch SBS World News; 97,000 last night. It provides the better Australian political news and has by far the best business segment of all the stations. Ok you have to watch some international news that you may not care about but I record SBS, Seven and ABC News and skip a lot of the rubbish that is considered news by each.
Wow, Seven is always the top rating news but I am so sick of the car crashes, house fires and trivial crime stories it presents; its business segment is so short that if I sneeze I would miss it. Please give SBS World News a look.
Thank goodness for streaming services and on demand services, because what’s mostly on free to air TV at the moment is very ordinary. Enough of the endless Hard Quiz repeats on the ABC too.
