New channel dedicated to programming from the West Indies will launch on May 3, 2014

A NEW channel dedicated to Caribbean news and shows will launch in the UK next month.

JamTV, brought to you by Caribbean Media House Ltd, will air on both Sky (channel 192) and Freesat (channel 402) from May 3, 2014.

Every weekend, starting from 5pm until midnight, JamTV will feature a Caribbean news roundup, children’s storytelling, school quiz programmes, talent competitions, cooking, religious and comedy shows, and travel guides, showcasing the beauty of the Caribbean as well as the spirit of its people.

Ricardo Allen, CEO at Caribbean Media House, said: “Currently, there is NO authentic programming direct from the Caribbean available to the UK, and that is a situation JamTV is here to correct. Black culture here in the UK tends to focus on the harder edged urban youth market that can be off putting and overlook the needs of other sections of the community.”

Showcasing the work of talented Caribbean filmmakers to sharing Caribbean-themed discussions with the niche audience is just some of the things on course for JamTV.

Fellow CEO, Lillian Allen added: “We want to build a channel that caters to the whole family, with programmes that everyone here can relate to, same as they do back home in the Caribbean, where you don’t have to spend time worrying what the kids are watching on their computers and tablets, because they’re right there with you watching the family channel.”

The aim is to quickly develop commercial interest in the channel, by providing a unique and distinctive opportunity for local and international companies to advertise products and services to a niche audience frequently overlooked by mainstream television.

FAMILY FRIENDLY: Jam TV CEOs Ricardo and Lillian Allen wanted to create a station the whole family could enjoy

Businesses wanting to associate their brands with proven family shows direct from the Caribbean on a Sky channel with a 1.5 million reach can now do so.

No business too large or too small for our advertising and sponsorship department. JamTV, your weekend slice of sunshine!
