Uvagut TV
Uvagut TV is a Canadian television channel, which launched on January 18, 2021.[1] It is Canada's first television channel devoted exclusively to Inuktitut language programming, and only the second service devoted to indigenous communities in Canada after the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.[2]
A project of Isuma's Nunavut Independent Television division, the service will broadcast 168 hours of programming per week from various Inuit film and television production companies including Isuma, the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation, the Inuvialuit Communications Society, Arnait Video Productions, Artcirq, Kingulliit and Taqqut.[2]
The channel will initially be distributed to Arctic Cable subscribers in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, as well as nationally by Shaw Direct and online.[1]
