What we're looking for from Ready, Steady, Pitch!
In factual SBS Unscripted is looking for single docs, series, noisy, high risk shows, warm-hearted shows, and one-off stunts. And in factual entertainment/entertainment – we're looking for low cost/potential long run formats (also ones which could work on our Indigenous channel NITV too). Everything SBS commissions must reflect our Charter.
