News Bulletins
In determining the World Watch schedule, the policy of SBS has been to match the selection of news programs with the ethnic composition of the Australian population. The World Watch schedule includes news bulletins from China, Chile, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malta, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, and the United States.
The programs are usually broadcast unedited. However, SBS does edit programs under "exceptional circumstances" where it breaches broadcasting regulations and its Codes of Practices. In addition, commercials and sponsorship messages are edited out, while the end of the program will also be cut out when the program runs overtime in its timeslot.
If SBS does not receive the program on time, it will replace the program with its Weatherwatch program.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or bulletins:
“What’s the new news at the new court?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The radio ... goes on early in the morning and is listened to at all hours of the day, until nine, ten and often eleven o’clock in the evening. This is certainly a sign that the grown-ups have infinite patience, but it also means that the power of absorption of their brains is pretty limited, with exceptions, of course—I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. One or two news bulletins would be ample per day! But the old geese, well—I’ve said my piece!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
