Indigenous Community Television, or ICTV, is a satellite television service that broadcasts television programs produced by, and for, indigenous people in remote communities around Australia.
Programs are contributed regularly by Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Media, Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media, Warlpiri Media and Ngaanyatjarra Media. From 2002 to 2007 these were uplinked by Imparja Television on their Optus C1 satellite channel 31, while from 2009 onwards they have been uplinked by Westlink. The service has been rebroadcast by terrestrial transmitters in many remote communities.

Famous quotes containing the words indigenous, community and/or television:
“All climates agree with brave Chanticleer. He is more indigenous even than the natives. His health is ever good, his lungs are sound, his spirits never flag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Jesus, Buddha, Mahommed, great as each may be, their highest comfort given to the sorrowful is a cordial introduction into another’s woe. Sorrow’s the great community in which all men born of woman are members at one time or another.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“We cannot spare our children the influence of harmful values by turning off the television any more than we can keep them home forever or revamp the world before they get there. Merely keeping them in the dark is no protection and, in fact, can make them vulnerable and immature.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
