On April 20, 2026, NITV premiered the 33rd season of Living Black, Australia's longest-running Indigenous current affairs show, hosted by Karla Grant, who has dedicated 23 years to the program. A journalist from the Western Arrernte community, Grant began her career at community radio 2XX in Canberra to fight against injustices. She worked with ATSIC on Aboriginal Australia and joined SBS in 1990, contributing to ICAM before launching Living Black in 2003 during a time of significant political shifts. The show tackles critical issues such as deaths in custody and child removals. This season includes interviews with Richard Frankland, Rachel Maza, and Katie Kiss discussing the rise of racism, with episodes available on SBS On Demand.
