Native journalists and media professionals from the Washington, D.C., area hopes to launch the first Native American cable television station.

Native American Television would feature a wide range of programming, said Jay Winter Nightwolf, a Washington radio personality who is one of the organizers of the effort. It will take at least $1.7 million to put the shows on the air, said Randy Flood, the executive director of NATV.

Separately, Indian Country Today is developing a Native news show that would air on public television. Harlan McKosato, formerly of Native America Calling, is also working on a Native TV network.
