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.
