The Feed is an Australian news, current affairs and satire television series that began airing on SBS Viceland on 20 May 2013 and has continued through several series and with several changes of presenters.

Broadcast history

The Feed was created by SBS former Director of News and Current Affairs Paul Cutler, who enlisted pop-culture journalist Patrick Abboud to help assemble a crew to produce a 15-minute daily show. Nick Hayden first executive producer when season one began airing in 2013, with presenters Patrick Abboud,[1] Marc Fennell, Jan Fran, and Andy Park.

The series episodes were extended for following seasons to a full half-hour segment daily,[2] with a mix of in-depth features, news headlines and comedy skits. Several guests presenters have appeared on The Feed including Lee Lin Chin, Dan Ilic, Kirsten Drysdale, Lawrence Leung, Good Games Michael Hing, Mark Humphries,[3] and others. In 2015, Andy Park departed the show to become a reporter on ABC's 7.30 current affairs show.

The Feed was then co-hosted at various times by Marc Fennell,[4] Jan Fran, Laura Murphy-Oates (from NITV),[5] and others for some years.

In 2020 The Feed moved to a weekly format, and switched to the SBS main channel, airing at 10pm, and following veteran current affairs programs Insight at 8.30pm and Dateline at 9.30pm.[6]

In May 2022, SBS announced it would end the series due to declining audience figures, with its final episode airing on 28 June. Content under the Feed brand would continue to be made for SBS On Demand and social media.[7] [8]
