What is audio description (AD)?

Audio described programs are currently broadcast on the following SBS television channels: SBS, SBS VICELAND, NITV and SBS World Movies.

SBS aims to provide audio description for the widest range of content as appropriate—based on there being sufficient gaps in dialogue for insertion of audio description—including for dramas, documentaries, entertainment, children’s and cooking programs, as well as movies.

SBS broadcasts up to 27 hours of audio described programming every week. SBS publishes information about what programming is available with audio description each week on this page (click here).
