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, Jeanette Francis ("Jan Fran") and Andy Park.

The series episodes were extended for following seasons to a full half an 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 Game's Michael Hing, Mark Humphries,[3] and others.
