History
In early 2022, SBS officially launched their own Arabic and Mandarin local news bulletins on SBS On Demand and announced the launch of the WorldWatch channel. The channel would also offer non-English news bulletins in more than 30 languages from around the world; most of these were transferred from the World Watch programming block, which had aired on SBS and SBS Viceland.{{cite web |title=SBS WorldWatch |url=https://www.sbs.com.au/aboutus/sbs-worldwatch |access-date=23 May 2022 |website=SBS Corporate |publisher=Special Broadcasting Service}} The channel was launched on 23 May 2022 on channel 35, along with the SBS-produced Arabic and Mandarin bulletins. Both SBS and SBS Viceland continued to air English news bulletins from international news channels in morning and midday timeslots under the current World Watch block.
