Subscriber (Cable) Television

Subscriber television, or cable TV, is a popular form of home entertainment in many Jamaican households. The industry was brought under the umbrella of the law on July 1, 1998 when licences were first issued. That was almost fifteen years after its emergence as an entertainment option associated with the hospitality sector.

The Commission monitors the operations of STV services, ensuring that standards are maintained and that permission is received for the programming used, including music. The Commission also has an important role in encouraging the development of new channels for the exposure of material produced in Jamaica and the Caribbean, as well as access for the Jamaican public to more sources of information to meet the growing demand for information and home entertainment.

The following is a list of the licensed subscriber television operators in Jamaica along with the zones which they serve.
