TTT is the state-owned broadcaster, which was relaunched in 2018 under its new name, having previously been called C TV. The name is the original name the broadcaster had when it was established in 1962 and was chosen because it was found that TTT still had a strong brand identity.

The government generally respects press freedom, which is enshrined in the constitution, says Freedom House.

Outlets that are regarded as pro-government get a greater share of state advertising, says Reporters Without Borders.

There are three daily newspapers, all privately owned. ´óÏó´«Ã½ World Service radio broadcasts on 98.7 FM.

There were more than one million internet users by March 2019, comprising 77% of the population (Internetworldstats.com). Facebook is the most popular social media platform.
