Taqramiut Nipingat is a Canadian radio network,[1] which broadcasts community radio programming in Inuktitut to 14 communities in the Nunavik region of Quebec.[2] The service, whose name means "Voice of the People", began as an individual community radio program serving the region in the early 1970s before being incorporated as a full standalone radio network in 1975.[3]

The network operates from offices in Montreal and Salluit, with smaller production offices in Kuujjuaq and Puvirnituq.[4]

The company has also produced selected Inuit-language television drama programs,[5] for broadcast on CBC North[6] and APTN.[7]
