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:
“What is a country without rabbits and partridges? They are among the most simple and indigenous animal products; ancient and venerable families known to antiquity as to modern times; of the very hue and substance of Nature, nearest allied to leaves and to the ground,—and to one another; it is either winged or it is legged. It is hardly as if you had seen a wild creature when a rabbit or a partridge bursts away, only a natural one, as much to be expected as rustling leaves.”
—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)
“There is no question but that if Jesus Christ, or a great prophet from another religion, were to come back today, he would find it virtually impossible to convince anyone of his credentials ... despite the fact that the vast evangelical machine on American television is predicated on His imminent return among us sinners.”
—Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)
