IQALUIT, NUNAVUT (January 17, 2025) – NITV is excited to announce that our Inuit-language broadcast service, Uvagut TV, started streaming on basic cable packages across Canada on January 20, 2025. One of the first solely-Indigenous language networks in the world, this is a truly historic moment for Inuit and Indigenous communities, and all Canadians.
To celebrate our launch on January 20, Uvagut TV will share a full programming line-up of some of our most popular and beloved programs from our archives. Since our initial launch in 2021, we have been proud to share an incredible line-up of award-winning feature films, documentaries, children’s programming, community interviews, and more.
CRTC Approval
After the landmark CRTC decision approving NITV’s application under Section 9(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act in October, NITV began to work to ensure that our broadcast service will be available for basic cable packages across Canada to over 10 million subscribers. We anticipate that our service should be fully operational nationwide in the coming few weeks.
