FROM THE 2016 AUDIENCE
SURVEY
Satellite television in Remote Indigenous Communities: one third missing out
The view from the 2016 Remote Indigenous Media and
Communications Survey
It seems a long time ago now in terms of the speed of technology changes but the implications of the digital switchover of television in remote Indigenous communities in late 2013 is still being felt profoundly. Further investigation is required to identify ways in which television can be made available to the more than one-third of people who have reported being without access to television.
