Top Gear to Channel 9
SBS was officially advised last Friday that the BBC intends to take the Top Gear franchise to Channel 9.
SBS Managing Director Shaun Brown said:

“SBS was the only Australian network brave enough to take on the irreverent series in 2005 and we have built it into successful event television with a dedicated audience. We are proud of what we have achieved with Top Gear.
“SBS, with its limited resources, lives with the knowledge that while it can discover and develop great programs and events, it cannot always defend them from the aggressive bids of well-heeled competitors.”
SBS will not comment further.
