On May 26, 2026, the 47th Annual Caribbean Cable and Telecommunications Association (CCTA) Conference opened its doors at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, and the event played host to a milestone moment for regional media: the official launch of Television Caribbean (TVC), a new broadcast channel for the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis that is now accessible to viewers via The Cable’s Ultra TV service on channel 40.
This is not an entirely new venture for regional audiences: TVC first held a soft launch in December 2023, giving viewers a preview of its content lineup ahead of the full official rollout. Operated by Palm Branch Media, the channel has built its programming identity around centering local and Caribbean-produced content, filling a gap for regionally focused storytelling that resonates with local communities.
During the official launch presentation at the conference, Andre Huie, Chief Executive Officer of Palm Branch Media, formally introduced TVC to industry delegates and stakeholders. The presentation included a promotional reel that showcased the channel’s expanding roster of original content and its in-house production capacity, highlighting the network’s investment in high-quality regional media.
A core pillar of TVC’s offering is its extensive live sports coverage, which spans some of the most popular regional competitions. Huie highlighted that the channel broadcasts marquee events including the Big 6 T20 Tournament, SKNABA Basketball leagues, local community football competitions, Leeward Islands cricket tournaments, and the Cool and Smooth T20 Cricket Tournament, bringing live regional sports directly to households across the Federation.
Beyond sports, TVC has developed a diverse slate of original, locally produced programming spanning news, current affairs, lifestyle, culture, and music. Its lineup includes *From the Sidelines*, a weekly sports discussion series that analyzes local, regional, and international sports developments; *Newsline 360*, the channel’s flagship news and current affairs program; *Insights*, an interview series that profiles untold stories of residents of St. Kitts and Nevis; *The JIFE Music Show*, an inspirational gospel program that spotlights Caribbean gospel artists and features exclusive interviews; *Inside Football*, a magazine-style show dedicated to covering local football development; and *Main Event*, an entertainment program that highlights local performers and features new music videos. All original primetime programs air weeknights at 8:00 p.m. local time, with repeat broadcasts scheduled for 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. the following day to accommodate varying viewer schedules.
Huie expanded on the network’s brand promise behind its slogan “See The Difference”, outlining the core vision that drives TVC’s content strategy. He emphasized that the channel is committed to delivering fresh, meaningful Caribbean-focused programming that stands out from existing options on the regional airwaves. “We intend to bring something different to the television landscape in St. Kitts and Nevis and the Caribbean,” Huie said. “Our goal is to bring the finest in television programming in news, sports and entertainment and provide an alternative to inform, educate and entertain.”
The official launch presentation received a warm, positive reception from conference delegates, many of whom are industry leaders from across the Caribbean telecommunications and broadcast sector.
