The Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) was established in 2000 as the result of a merger between the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) and the Caribbean News Agency (CANA).
CMC regards itself as both an outgrowth of the regional integration movement and an instrument for fostering closer integration. A unique multi-media organisation, CMC was born out of a desire to encourage media integration as the Caribbean islands, emerging from the vestiges of colonialism, sought to develop infrastructure for integrating their economies.
Based in Barbados, CMC provides a print (wire) and television service to its clients and is the foremost independent media establishment in the Caribbean. Its mission is to be a customer-focused, growth-oriented company dedicated to Caribbean advancement through the timely provision of high-quality news, sports, information and related services.
Regional coverage
CMC provides in-depth coverage of the socio-economic and political issues as well as sporting activities in the Caribbean, with correspondents throughout the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean as well as in the diaspora of North America and Europe.
Its primary customer base comprises newspapers, radio and television systems, regional and international organisations and agencies, governments, companies and diplomatic offices.
