SBS is an Australian public broadcasting radio and television network first established in 1978 as an independent statutory authority under an amendment effected in 1978 of the Broadcasting and Television Act 1942 (Australia). SBS in its current form was established as a separate Australian Commonwealth authority incorporated for a public purpose in 1991 under the Special Broadcasting Service Act 1991 (Australia) (SBS Act). Operating under the SBS Charter (containing section 6 of the SBS Act), SBS is driven on the belief that all Australians, regardless of geography, age, cultural background or language skills should have access to high quality, independent, culturally relevant Australian media to reflect Australia’s multicultural society. SBS Television broadcasts in more than 100 languages and is watched by more than 8 million Australians each week. SBS Radio is the world’s most linguistically diverse radio network, broadcasting 68 language programs to a potential audience of more than 3 million Australians who speak a language other than English in their homes. SBS Online provides the most multilingual audio streaming programs compared to any other website in the world. SBS employs around 800 people representing more than 100 ethnic backgrounds and 80 languages to cater to its multicultural audience. With over 30 years on television, 35 years on radio and 13 years online, SBS has won over 600 awards including an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film for ‘Harvie Krumpet’ in 2003 and being nominated for the same award for ‘The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello’ in 2005. SBS’ vision includes providing its consumers access to more multicultural and multilingual shows along with an increased online presence. In this regard, the proposed .sbs gTLD will aid in fulfilling SBS’ vision."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1471 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 27 Feb 2013</ref>
