[edit] History

WIN TV was originally known as Global TV, a service of the HCU Communications Group. It was set to launch since May 2006, but arrangements were made between HCU and Jaikaransingh, and a licence agreement was agreed between both parties. The station was prevented from launching in September 2006, after HCU Communications registered a High Court injunction to prevent it from broadcasting. The matter is currently pending.

[edit] Programming

WIN TV is expected to feature a large percentage of Trinidad and Toabgo local oriented programming, including comedy shows, news magazine features, cooking programmes, home decorating tips, lifestyle choices and women's issues. Additionally, the station has forged links with international distribution agencies to share and carry content in the North American and Indian markets. Local programmes such as Total Football, Chefs of the Caribbean and Matikoor Night have already been confirmed.
