LKK Group
The LKK Group is a broadcasting and communications company, headquartered in the Hollywood Center Studios in Hollywood, California. The company owns and operates television and radio stations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Quote from Hollywood Center Studios web site: "LKK became involved in Caribbean broadcasting in 2003 when it learned that Puerto Rico lacked a National Public Radio station, according to Keith Bass, the company’s president. It quickly established a radio station on the island set up to receive NPR’s national feed. Upon noting the Puerto Rico and its neighbors also were not served by television stations affiliated with the major U.S. networks, LKK sensed a unique business opportunity. LKK takes network television feeds from New York and sends them via satellite to receiving sites on the two islands. Syndicated and local programming is also inserted in Hollywood. On the islands themselves, the company maintains relatively small operations with sales and service staffs. Everything else is done from Hollywood.".
