George Town, Grand Cayman – The Cayman
Islands Government TV (CIGTV) has come to an agreement with the
Cayman Compass to share community based news content.

Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin said “I’m very
happy that an agreement has been reached with the Cayman Compass.

“The agreement enables CIGTV and Compass Media
to create and promote a sense of community, providing access for more
people to community news through print, broadcast and digital
platforms.”

Cayman Compass publisher Kathleen Capetta said:
“We are thrilled to be working collaboratively with the Government
to bring important independent community news to a wider audience.”

“This partnership comes as we relaunch the
Compass and its multi-media platforms at the heart of the community.”

Donna Bush, CIGTV News Director, said: “Our goal
is to provide the best content available for viewers both locally and
internationally. Working in partnership with others is important to
this. We have recently added national weather updates to our CIGTV
news segments by partnering with the National Weather Service. This
collaboration with the Compass is another exciting venture enabling
us to bring even more community based content to our viewers”.

CIGTV provides an valuable source of community
based news across its channels and encouraging content sharing such
as through this collaboration goes some way towards filling the gap
left by the recent closure of a local television station. Whilst it
is a positive effort to fill a media void in terms of community
content, Government is not subsidising or paying for any of the
content. The arrangement is not exclusive and CIGTV continue to
welcome video content from the local media and community partners.
Please contact donna,bush@gov.ky to discuss.

The content-sharing arrangement with Compass will
begin on Monday 7th October to coincide with the relaunch of the
Cayman Compass.
