I am at Uluru today for this historical event – NITV goes free to air!

I would like to acknowledge that NITV is one of the most valuable assets to Aboriginal and Islanders including the Torres Straits peoples in the maintenance and preservation of Culture in this country.

Congratulations to all involved, what an achievement! – Brian Butler, Director Chamber 3, National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples

In a historic day for Australia, a dedicated Indigenous television service will be available for all Australians free to air for the first time. NITV, National Indigenous Television begins broadcasting on Channel 34 (free to air) from 12 December 2012.
