"... Those of you who were part of the early days of northern broadcasting will be saddened to hear that Art King passed away in St. John's, Newfoundland earlier this week. Art was one of the original program officers at Secretary State's Northern Native Broadcast Access Program, which funded the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation, TNI, Wawatay, NNBY and other groups, creating the foundation for Television Northern Canada and eventually the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. He spent most of his career supporting and promoting Indigenous communications in Canada, and was a friend, a guide and an ally to the movement.
Thanks, Robert Boulay, for the sad news. Art's daughter Dana will be posting an obituary on the weekend...."

He was doing that when I was with Taqramiut Nipingat Inc (TNI) in Nunavik in the 1980s... The early years of TVNC... Pre APTN...
