NEW AICA BOARD ELECTED

 

Late last year, a new Board was elected to spearhead AICA's strategic directions and governance over the next year.  The new AICA Board of Directors is as follows:

 

 

Chairperson – Tiga Bayles - Brisbane Indigenous Media Association  

TEABBA

Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association (TEABBA) Media Services, is a Not for Profit

organisation which Project Objectives are to provide operational support for the

29 Remote Indigenous Broadcasting units in Aboriginal communities across the Top End of Australia.

These Units, called Remote Indigenous Broadcasting Service (RIBS), house the radio and television electronic equipment.

 

TEABBA was formed by Top End community members who recognised the need to encourage and

assist the development of local broadcasting and information services at all remote

communities, using broadcasting equipment provided by the government under the

BRACS(Broadcasting Remote Aboriginal Community Scheme) project.

These services are available through a satellite system. Most RIBS have an operator who does

local radio shows in their community. These shows are often in language, relaying community

announcements, interviewing visiting Government departments, weather and involving the school children.
