GTV9 in partnership with ABC carries the first television link from Adelaide for coverage of the Fourth Test cricket. The link was achieved by means of a “satellite” transmitter, located on the base of a DC-3 aircraft circling over the town of Serviceton at 12,000 feet, which will receive the television signal from Mt Lofty in Adelaide and then relay to a receiver on Mount Ben Nevis, near Ararat, then to Mount Buninyong, near Ballarat, and then to GTV9’s transmission tower on Mount Dandenong.
