As it be­gan its jour­ney on this day 20 years ago in a me­dia land­scape dom­i­nat­ed by es­tab­lished play­ers, from its first broad­cast, CNC3 was des­tined to re­de­fine the in­dus­try.

CNC3 was born from the strate­gic fore­sight of Guardian Me­dia Lim­it­ed (GML) un­der the lead­er­ship of then-Man­ag­ing Di­rec­tor, the late Gren­fell Kissoon, with Rose­marie Sant as the first Head of News.

The mis­sion was clear: to launch a news chan­nel of­fer­ing a dy­nam­ic and mod­ern al­ter­na­tive in the lo­cal mar­ket. The name it­self, “Ca­ble News Chan­nel 3,” re­flect­ed its ini­tial plat­form - ac­ces­si­ble on­ly via ca­ble sub­scrip­tions.
