If audiences enjoy waking up to Nitv’s Big Mob Brekky – Australia’s first ever Indigenous breakfast show – this week as part of Naidoc Week, Sbs director of Indigenous content Tanya Denning-Orman doesn’t rule out it becoming a permanent fixture in the future.
Hosted by Shahni Wellington and Ryan Liddle, the show premiered yesterday, broadcasting live from Sydney’s Taronga Zoo, and will run everyday until Friday.
“It’s an on-air pilot; that’s what we do at the channel,” Denning-Orman tells If.
“If Australians are wanting that different perspective, waking up to something different in the morning, with a bit of our cheekiness as a blackfellas – anything’s possible as part of Sbs.”
The decision to run the show stems from a desire to do something different after a year of heavy news content, as well as the current conversation around diversity in media.

‘After We Collided.’
Five new mainstream titles entered the market last weekend – but none could beat the third frame of Warner Bros’ Tenet, which is benefiting from repeat business.
Product-starved exhibitors welcomed the influx and were pleasantly surprised by the turnout for Roadshow’s After We Collided but disappointed with Madman Entertainment’s Bill & Ted Face the Music.
A home entertainment release in the US, Paramount’s Paw Patrol: Jet to the Rescue drew a reasonable number of kids and families while fans of Korean boy band BTS flocked to Trafalgar Releasing’s Break the Silence: The Movie.
Released by Universal, Slim & I, Kriv Stenders’ biopic on country music star Joy McKean and her determination to be recognised as a performer and songwriter in her own right, resonated in regional locations.
Numero reported the top 20 titles generated $4.2 million, nearly 30 per cent up on the previous frame. “We have what I...

Terri, Bindi, and Robert Irwin celebrated Steve Irwin Day at the Australia Zoo in Queensland on Wednesday. The late conservationist and TV personality, who passed away in September 2006, was honored by zoo staff, guests, and country singer Troy Cassar-Daley, who were all asked to wear beige in a nod to Steve's signature khaki uniform. Steve's wife, Terri, now owns the zoo and was all smiles while posing with her kids, 19-year-old Bindi and 13-year-old Robert, who is clearly the spitting image of his dad. Bindi tweeted out about the exciting event on Tuesday, writing, "Today we remember all that Dad achieved for wildlife [and] wild places around the world," adding, "He taught me that we must all treat animals the way we wish to be treated. I think that his advice applies to both animals and people. Be kind. In every part of life." Related23 Beautiful Photos Bindi Irwin Has Shared of Her Late Father,...

Nitv launches at midday
Specialist indigenous channel Nitv has widened its audience with the launch of the channel on free to air television today.
Specialising in Aboriginal and Torres Strait news, culture, affairs and entertainment, Nitv will continue to appear on Foxtel and also on SBS4 which was previously a narrowcasting service.
The move to free to air TV was announced in May when $158.1m in federal funding was allocated to Sbs.
Nitv began airing in July in 2007 following a funding announcement from the government in September 2005.
A two-hour special from Uluru, hosted by journalist Stan Grant and Rhoda Roberts kicked off the channel’s new version. A two hour evening concert from Uluru at 8pm will include Casey Donovan, Christine Anu, Troy Cassar-Daley and Rhoda Roberts.
A campaign by agency Us Sydney launched in late November to promote the channel.
