History and programming

It started broadcasting in 1991 and produces a variety of local content, from programmes (including news bulletins) to commercials.[2] It was not the first television station in Montserrat, as beginning in 1965 ZAL-TV (now ABS) installed a relay station on the island[3] and in the 1980s, there was a station called Antilles TV.[4] In the 2010s, it was linked to the British RAFFA association.[5]

In 2011, the network held its own music competition, Montserrat Idol,[6] which was modelled on American Idol, popular in Montserrat at the time.[7]

As of 2012, Natalie Edgecombe was its manager.[8] The network carried Caribbean Medical on Mondays in 2014, a syndicated programme.[9]
