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)
“... no community where more than one-half of the adults are disfranchised and otherwise incapacitated by law and custom, can be free from great vices. Purity is inconsistent with slavery.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
