Following the first round of programs aired in February 1982, SBS begins a second round of test transmissions of public access television from Open Channel. The Melbourne-based group was granted airtime on 7, 8 and 14 May 1983. Open Channel’s test transmissions became a predecessor to community TV channels being formed and licenced in later years.
