NITV
VerifiedTelevision
National Indigenous Television (NITV) is an Australian television channel that broadcasts programming produced largly by Indigenous Australians.
It was initially only carried by cable and satellite providers, along with some limited over-the-air transmissions in certain remote areas. However, in 2010, the Australian Government commissioned a wide-ranging review of its investment in the Indigenous broadcasting and media sector. The review was headed up by retired senior public servant Neville Stevens with the assistance of Expert Panel members Laurie Patton and Kerrynne Liddle. The review recommended that NITV continue to receive government funding only on the basis that it was re-structured. Source

How Dolly Parton captured the hearts of our mob
There was always something special about Dolly Parton’s music that felt so familiar to me. Dolly was part of the soundtrack in my grandparents’ home growing up in country-town New South Wales. As I got older, I began to understand why her music resonated with my family and why Dolly has held such a special place in the hearts of so many Aboriginal people for generations. Her music was so personal but resonated powerfully with mob, becoming ours too.
