NITV News Bulletin

NITV News is a program broadcast on Australia's National Indigenous Television digital channel 34 and is a part of SBS Australia.

NITV News is the only nightly television news service that covers entirely Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories from across the country in a half hour bulletin.

Started in February 2008, the program began with 5 minutes of News, followed by 15 minutes before finally extending to a half hour bulletin.

Anchor Natalie Ahmat and Sports Presenter Kris Flanders are the regular hosts of the program and all the reporters and presenters at NITV news are from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds.

The program is directed at Indigenous and non Indigenous viewers, but has found a wide audience among all Australians interested in Indigenous Australian issues, as such topics are rarely covered in the mainstream Australia media.
