History
The acronym CNC3 originally stood for Cable News Channel 3, as the station was originally a news and current affairs themed channel which was carried on Channel 3 on the Flow national cable service. When the station went free-to-air, the name CNC3 was retained, but the focus shifted from exclusively news programming to include general entertainment and movies as well.
CNC3 broadcast begun on 26 September 2005. Approximately three hours prior to the station's debut, the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT) ordered that CNC3 not proceed with its broadcasts, claiming that the broadcaster had no authority to proceed. TATT reversed its decision late the following day, and broadcasts began shortly thereafter.
In December 2007, CNC3 was recommended by the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago for a national free-to-air broadcast license. The station went free-to-air on 1 November 2008. The station can also be seen on VHF Channel 12, UHF channel 14 and UHF Channel 22 in Tobago.
Programming
When the station was launched there was an implied public perception that it would feature a 24-hour news schedule. Instead, the station carries its major newscasts at the same time as competing broadcast stations, and it carries no news content during the afternoon or overnight periods, and there is only one thirty-minute news broadcast on weekends. Hourly News Updates from 6 am to 7pm are available on Mondays to Fridays on CNC3 and the TBC Radio Network.
As the station went free-to-air in November 2008,[3][4][5] the schedule was expanded to add primetime shows such as Nip/Tuck, Top Gear, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Guy, Fringe, Modern Family, Cougar Town, The Unit, George Lopez, America's Got Talent, Accidentally on Purpose and Glee.[6]
In April 2013, Crime Watch hosted by Ian Alleyne, which was formerly broadcast on CCN TV6 and WIN TV, began on CNC3 with a first week of live broadcasts over the country.
