History
ICTV Limited was founded in 2001. In 2002 it began to broadcast as part of the Imparja Info Channel. This was a community TV style channel run by Imparja, screening predominantly local indigenous programmes (ICTV) and Bushvision. Many remote indigenous communities in central and north eastern Australia had analog terrestrial repeaters for this service, which utilised community licences.
This service, available using a satellite receivers anywhere in Australia and also retransmitted in many BRACS (Broadcasting for Remote Aboriginal Communities Scheme) communities in Western and Central Australia, ceased on 12 July 2007 in order to make way for the National Indigenous Television (NITV) service.
ICTV Limited however continued to operate. In April 2009, it launched an online video service. On 13 November 2009, ICTV re-commenced broadcasting, via Westlink.
As of November 2012, ICTV now broadcasts on LCN 601 of the VAST satellite platform.
