Television in Trinidad and Tobago was introduced in 1962. For most of the history of broadcasting, there were only two major national broadcast networks. From 1962-2005 they were TTT and CCN TV6.

Today, 8 nationwide broadcasting networks exist. Other than the non-commercial cultural TV 4, the largest broadcast television networks are CNC3, CCN TV6 and C TV.

Broadcast networks in Trinidad and Tobago can be divided into three categories:

  • Commercial broadcasting networks (which air English-language programming to a general audience). Example: CNC3
  • Educational and other non-commercial broadcasting member stations (which air English- and some foreign-language television programming, intended to be educational television or otherwise of a sort not found on commercial television). Example: The Parliament Channel
  • Religious broadcasting networks. Example: IBN
