General
Comments
There is one local television station, ZIZ, this used to go out
on cable and via antenna. However, since the antenna was destroyed
in Hurricane Georges in 1998, it only goes out on cable. (Most
of the households with TV have cable). Most households, about
75%, have television. It is possible to get programming from Antigua
and St. Maarten via antenna. Aside from the ZIZ channel, cable
TV channels are mainly American, with some others e.g. BBC World.
