Krem Television is a Belize an Television Station established in 2004 and serving Belize City. Its manager is KREM Radio alumnus Evan "Mose" Hyde and it is part of KREMANDALA Ltd. ESTABLISHMENT Since the late 1990's Kremandala Ltd., already holding portions of the Newspaper and radio market in Belize, applied for a television license. The feud over the license dragged on for months; established media houses claimed Krem chairman Evan X Hyde was trying to corner the media market in Belize. Eventually KREM was granted license, and test broadcasts started in 2002. TEST BROADCASTS Test broadcasts were conducted in 2002 and 2003, on CBC Channel 3 in Belize City. Among the programs shown were live audio feeds of KREM FM programs, old semi-pro basketball games featuring company team the Kremandala Raiders and documentaries. KREM TV TODAY KREM came on the air in November 2004, under the slogan "Show weself, see weself, be weself" (Showing Ourselves, Seeing Ourselves, Being Ourselves). The slogan captures the idea of creativity and not being a slave to a certain format, something KREM has long championed. A Christmas program aired in December attracted modest viewership. In 2005, most of KREM's primetime radio programs began to be aired by television, including the Kremandala Show , Women at Work and WUB Morning Vibes . Framed around these programs were international documentaries featuring African and African-American issues and occasionally sports. In 2006, KREM added local dramatic series " Noh Matta Wat! ", teen show "Teen Speakout" and a show hosted by UDP politician and attorney Wilfred Elrington. The shows named above mark most of KREM TV's airtime. Typically, KREM TV airs from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM Mondays to Fridays, 6:00 PM-10:00 PM on Saturdays and 10:00 AM to noon and 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Sundays. Most of the other slots feature streamed KREM Radio music. It can be seen on UHF channel 15 in Belize City as well as on cable. |
