NITV said times had changed. The free-to-air channel, otherwise known as National Indigenous Television, has been managed by SBS since 2012 and syndicates content from indigenous broadcasters in New Zealand, North America and northern Europe. “The Marngrook footy show has been an important part of NITV’s schedule for 12 years," said NITV manager Tanya Orman.
"The media landscape has changed significantly over that time, and we have to make difficult decisions about how we spend our limited budgets across our programming. "While it was a difficult decision to make after such a long run, NITV remains committed to delivering quality AFL coverage from a uniquely Indigenous perspective. We are looking at formats for a new show that will join our existing sports coverage."
