In 1947 Broadcast Relay Services, as part of it's overseas expansion opened in Trinidad with commercial broadcasting both over air and over its two programme wired network.
Rediffusion's Caribbean Operations comprised services that were active in Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana.
Trinidad and Tobago Rediffusion ran the two programme wired audio network up until the Autumn of 1974 when it ceased to be profitable and was finally closed and replaced by Rediffusion Trinidad and Radio Trinidad operating on both AM and FM.
Rediffusion were doing a flourishing business in television rental and sales. There were more than 8,000 subscribers (out of a population of one million).
Trinidad and Tobago Television went colour during 1976, so it a busy period for Rediffusion getting a colour business established. The television rental business, after a slow start, developed steadily, and was a particularly attractive option as the cash price of a colour set at that time was £700!
