[edit] History
In 1992, AVM Television signed-on as the second privately owned broadcast station in Trinidad and Tobago, owned by television veteran Dale Kolasingh. The station was largely unprofitable, and in the late 1990s, the station was acquired by the state and merged with the then International Communications Network which formed the National Broadcasting Network and it was re-branded "The Information Channel".
On January 15, 2005, NBN was shut-down. The facility where The Information Channel broadcast from is being leased to the National Carnival Commission and the channel was re-branded NCC-TV to broadcast the Carnival celebrations scheduled to take place in February of that year.
NCC-TV remained on-the-air broadcasting cultural, sport and Government programming and is also the main outlet for the National Lotteries Online Draws, that is Play Whe, Cash Pot, Lotto Plus and Lottery Classic.
The station also simulcasts the Parliament Channel, when there are live debates.
[edit] News and Current Affairs
NCC-TV airs two newscasts daily except on weekends at 6am and 6:32pm, presented by former Trinidad and Tobago Television news anchor John Victor. Kevin Garcia holds the position of News Director at the station.
