local entertainment cable station HYPE-TV and satellite giants Direct-TV have part company. Apparently the partnership never manifested as planned, due to the contract from Direct-TV being a bit too restrictive for the local station.
In an interview with a member of HYPE's liaison team, they explained to 876radio.com the reason for the change of heart.
"First let me say our parting was on amicable terms, we left because we found the contract a little restrictive and seeing they are a satellite company, and from our research we've found that most of our Caribbean people, who is our target audience subscribes to Cable, we were missing out. hence the reason to re-group and change focus.
However, there is still some good news for our Caribbean neighbours and other subscribers worldwide as the station is now available via 'Irie TV', a IPTV (Internet Protocol Televison), which is accessible anywhere there is broadband internet connectivity".
The Caribbean television network offers content from across the Caribbean 24 hours a day. Using a specialize Box that allows, subscribers to view their favorite television channels as well as tune into radio stations from across the Caribbean.
