Cable Bahamas Ltd. Disappointed by Accusations Levied by BCB

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Cable Bahamas Group of Companies (CBL) is disappointed by the accusations levied by the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas (BCB).

CBL is committed to providing exemplary coverage of Junkanoo not just to Bahamians but to the world at large.

The BCB was aware of and breached the terms of our broadcasting conditions for the Boxing Day celebrations.

As a result, REV TV subscribers on four islands (New Providence, Grand Bahama, Abaco and Eleuthera) were directed to watch the live broadcast of the Boxing Day Parade on REV channel 212 for a limited period at the beginning of the segment. 

This was not an anti-competition tactic as suggested by the BCB.

CBL as a partner of Aliv has made significant contributions to getting Junkanoo back to the people through a multi-year, multimillion dollar sponsorship of Junkanoo.

It is unfortunate that other media broadcasters and their partners, by all of their actions thus far have attempted to hijack the hard work of our contributions and those of the Junkanoo groups.

We look forward to an amicable resolution to this matter and hope that this does not take place in the future.
