Minister Questions Former Administration’s Treatment Of State Broadcaster TTT Limited

Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, Nicholas Morris, has accused the former PNM administration of deliberately weakening state broadcaster TTT Limited, saying Government decisions had placed the station in financial difficulty and reduced its viewership.

Contributing to the Budget debate on Friday, Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, Nicholas Morris, said TTT remained a national institution that had served generations of Trinidadians and Tobagonians, but noted that decisions taken under the previous administration undermined the company’s ability to compete.

Minister Morris said TTT’s problems were not the result of management, but of policies that restricted the station to local programming, while investment in equipment declined.
