SBS will launch a new national free-to-air Indigenous Television service in late 2012.
It follows the Federal Government’s Budget decision to transfer annual funding from National Indigenous TV Limited to SBS to develop a new, national digital free-to-air channel dedicated to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content.
A $158.1 million Federal Budget investment will ensure the sustainability of SBS as a major contributor in the Australian media and enable it to deliver a new national free-to-air Indigenous television channel.
