NITV launches new footy show
NITV is is to partner with the AFL to launch Inside the Huddle, a new weekly footy show hosted by Gunditjmara and Wiradjuri man Chris Johnson, alongside Warumungu and Yawuru woman and AFL commentator Megan Waters.
The program will explore the latest news from the league and celebrate the rich history and ongoing contribution First Nations players, both past and present, have made to the game.
“Through this partnership with the AFL, Inside the Huddle gives First Nations voices a platform to lead the conversation around the game and the communities that have shaped it,” NITV Head of Indigenous Commissioning and Production, Dena Curtis said.
Heart of the game
“At NITV, we’re proud to bring a uniquely First Nations perspective – celebrating the strength, pride and legacy of our players, and supporting the next generation of emerging talent and new voices both on screen and behind the camera.
“With hosts Megan Waters and Chris Johnson bringing insight and energy and Tony Briggs leading as executive producer, the show is about more than football – it’s about culture, community and the stories at the heart of the game.”
The show launches tonight at 10pm on NITV and SBS On Demand, AFL.com.au and the AFL Live app.
