Imparja Television is Australia's last truly independent television station. Founded in Alice Springs, NT in 1986, Imparja has grown to be one of the great success stories of indigenous enterprise. 

As well as indigenous and locally produced programs, Imparja purchases its programming from the Nine Network enabling a lively and varied programming schedule, with wide public appeal.  It brings the best of the city's shows and sports to remote Australia. Imparja also provides relevant news and current affairs for its entire broadcast area.
