About Imparja
Imparja Television is a 100% First Nations-owned, independent, not-for-profit commercial television broadcaster based in Alice Springs and is recognised as one of the original First Nations television broadcasters in Australia.
Established in 1987 and first going to air on 2 January 1987, Imparja was a pioneer in First Nations broadcasting, paving the way for First Nations voices, stories and perspectives to be seen and heard on Australian television. From its earliest days, Imparja has played a critical role in creating opportunities for First Nations storytellers and in delivering culturally relevant content to some of the most remote parts of the country.
Today, Imparja operates 28 retransmission sites across the Remote Central and Eastern Australia (RCEA) licence area. Our broadcast footprint spans more than 3.6 million square kilometres across six states and territories, reaching over 200 remote First Nations communities and an estimated audience of more than one million viewers daily.
In addition to television broadcasting, Imparja provides capacity for 14 Aboriginal radio services, all uplinked via the Optus Belrose satellite facility and available on the Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) service. Imparja continues to build on its legacy as a trailblazer in First Nations media, balancing cultural responsibility with creative ambition and commercial sustainability.
