Anguilla Television (ATV), also known as ATV3 due to its cable frequency (channel 3), is a terrestrial television channel in the British overseas territory of Anguilla.
History and programming
[edit]It is unknown when did ATV start broadcasting. It started at an unknown period before 1995 on channel 3 on cable[1] and over-the-air on channel 9. That year, the TV and radio stations serving Anguilla were destroyed by Hurricane Luis, but resumed its broadcasts shortly afterwards, at a later date.[2] By April 1997, it had resumed its regular service, holding the Leeward Islands Debating Competition.[3] It also carried Digest, carrying events in Anguilla and adjacent islands, a nightly news bulletin produced by Radio Anguilla at 7:40pm and Anguilla Diary at 8:05pm. Some programmes were shown on ATV's over-the-air signal on channel 9, which was not available on cable.[4]
In addition to its local programming, the channel also airs syndicated Caribbean programmes such as Caribbean Medical.[5]
As of 2015, Wycliffe Richardson was part of the channel's team.[6]
