Our newest baby at NITV is the Barefoot Rugby League show and it took off with a flying start this month beaming out live across Australia (6.30pm EST). NITV worked hard to get this program up off the ground but now it’s up to our team of footy tragic panellists and you to nurture this show as it takes the rollercoaster ride that is sport. Watch this space because the show is just getting started and were in for a big season with the greatest game of all!. Before I get all other footy codes off side, this is sport after all, NITV hasn’t forgotten you. Our team of AFL experts are back for their second season.

The Marngrook Footy show has regrouped and we expect an even bigger and better 2008. Last year, Grant Hansen and his team showed NITV can give the big boys a run for their money and Barefoot is sure to do the same, giving sporting fans what they really want in footy television.

Whether you like short pants or big jerseys, whatever the code, stay tuned with NITV – were in for big hits and solid marks!

The I Belong series addresses notions of identity within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The series aims to share the rich diversity of Indigenous cultures with the rest of Australia. NITV co-funded the series with Bush TV and is proud to showcase such exciting and meaningful new material with our partners.

A total of 8 Indigenous students and first time program makers from the Sunshine Coast Institute of TAFE were also involved and completed intensive training to film, produce and edit short films as a part of this series. The students showcase will be a part of the official launch of the I Belong campaign.

The series will commence on NITV from 4th February 08 and will represent communities from the very remote locations like Poruma and Mornington Island and to communities in Central Australia, VIC, Western Australia, NSW, TAS, & SA.
