Australian television history has been made, with the launch of the first free to-air national Indigenous television network.
NITV
was switched from pay TV to free-to-air at noon (AEDT) on Wednesday 12th December, with a
ceremony at Uluru to mark the historic day (12/12/12).
NITV now airs on
channel 34 (SBS4) on digital TV. It will also broadcast on Foxtel on
channel 180.
“Our hope is for a united Australia that respects this land of ours; values the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage; provides justice and equity for all.” (Australian Declaration Towards Reconciliation 2000)
