Originally set up to explain Medibank (now known as Medicare) to immigrants in their first language, SBS Radio has grown to provide news, music and talk to over 60 language communities.
This corporate documentary, made in 2000 for the 25th anniversary of the station, uses archival footage and voice-over narration to describe the early days of the station and show the diversity of the community involved in its formation.
The narrator notes that many early announcers paid for their own records to play on air. Today, 12,000 of the records from 2EA and 3EA (later SBS) libraries are now in the NFSA collection.
