Community broadcasting is often a window into both local communities and diverse Australian culture, and this is very much the case for the Tiwi Islands Grand Final.

We proudly helped ICTV bring this broadcast to life. The Tiwi people are a First Nations people living on the Tiwi Islands, situated 80km north of Darwin. This day of AFL football is much more than a game – it is a celebration of Tiwi Islands culture. Filmed by six local trainees, this broadcast offered a unique opportunity for hands-on learning while showcasing the talent, culture and pride of the Tiwi Islands football players.

Congratulations on an outstanding broadcast ICTV team!
