SBS’s dedicated free-to-air food channel, Food Network, will become SBS Food from 17 November. The channel is an evolution of SBS’s Dishes existing food offering and will offer a broader range of programming, with a focus on premium Australian distinctive content exploring the world through cooking, cuisine and culinary cultures.

SBS Dishes Director of TV & Online Content, Marshall Heald, says the channel will offer a diverse mix of shows that will feature Australian and global food personalities.

“SBS Food is less reality food and more real food and will continue our commitment to broadcasting multicultural food-related content, introducing and educating audiences about different cultures, going to the core of SBS’s unique purpose,” he says.
