News Summary:

APTN filed its CRTC Production Form on September 28, 2026. This followed the network's August 13 announcement calling for applications to join its board of directors, aiming to guide its future path after over 25 years of operations and community connections. Previously, on July 8, a majority of more than 60 non-unionized workers at Aboriginal Peoples Television Network filed to join the Canadian Media Guild, with the union submitting its filing to the Canada Industrial Relations Board. In June, APTN highlighted content related to Indigenous language preservation, reporting on June 11 how a puppet named Nakon’i’a is helping to revive the endangered Nakoda language, which has fewer than 100 speakers in Canada. This came after APTN National News won a Canadian Screen Award on May 29, recognizing its journalism and dedication to delivering Indigenous-led news coverage nationwide.
