It was announced in June that the youth media company was partnering with the public broadcaster to launch the channel locally.

SBS Viceland will replace SBS 2 on TV and online platforms and will be available to Australians for free.

SBS Viceland will feature the best of SBS 2 news, sport and entertainment alongside the best programs from Viceland – the channel of Vice-produced programs overseen by award-winning director Spike Jonze, which launched in the US earlier this year.

The line-up will include new shows covering culture, music, sports, fashion, technology from around the world.

A marketing campaign promoting the new channel has kicked off across the SBS network today, directing people to make a free call to 1800-321-51 which prompts callers to tell the SBS what they want on the channel or to leave an obscure Australian colloquialism or to simply let them know how they’re feeling.
