National Indigenous Television
National Indigenous Television (NITV) aims to boost the Indigenous television production sector across Australia and to have a positive impact on Indigenous culture and identity.
The Australian Government is providing $50 million over four years to 30 June 2010 to the service which is Australia’s first national Indigenous television service.
Launched on 13 July 2007, NITV is available as a distinct television channel in remote areas via the Imparja Television narrowcast service and nationally on pay television via Foxtel Channel 180 and Austar.
NITV commissions, produces and aggregates Indigenous television content, providing Indigenous news, children’s TV, documentaries, drama, sport and other entertainment reflecting the breadth of Indigenous communities.
