WITBN invites membership applications to the network. There are two levels of membership: Council and Associate.

Council member organisations must be indigenous television broadcasters that have a mandate to promote and revitalise the indigenous language(s) and culture(s) of their countries, or be non-indigenous broadcasters able to demonstrate commitment and a proven record of contributing to retention and development of indigenous language(s) and culture(s). Broadcasters can include content providers and aggregators. Council members pay an annual membership fee of US$ 5,000. The Council reserves the right to decline WITBN membership applications.

Associate members are organisations that meet the Council membership criteria but do not wish to participate in the leadership of WITBN or are other key stakeholders who wish to support the objectives of the network. Associate members have no decision-making capacity. Associate members pay an annual membership fee of US$ 1,000 (based on calendar year / payment January). The Council reserves the right to decline WITBN membership applications.
