TTT Limited secured three media awards and four special mentions at the 36th Caribbean Broadcasting Union Awards on Wednesday.
The three awards were:
Talk City 91.1FM’s Saturday Brunch, featuring Nessa Preppy, which won the award for Best Entertainment Programme in the Production Awards – Radio category.
Next 99.1FM’s Mash-up: The Music that Made Us, which received the award for Best Entertainment Item in the Production Awards – Digital category on Facebook.
And in-house production Skin to Steel, which earned the Excellence in Media Coverage of Caribbean Arts and Culture award.

Apart from TTT Limited, Trinidad and Tobago was well represented at the 36th edition of the CBU Awards, with Guardian Media earning one special mention and two awards, WESN Content Capital receiving three special mentions, and the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday securing two awards and a special mention.
For nearly three decades, the CBU has celebrated the best of the region’s media sector, incorporating television, print, and radio.
Barbados’ Minister of Culture, Shantal Munro-Knight, urged the media community gathered for the awards to help build an inclusive Caribbean society.
“Unless we break down the nodes of how we see society, government, and private sector and media but as a region our footsteps are going to be anchored not in separateness, but in how we do this journey together. All of us, playing different roles but with the same understanding, fundamentally, of what it is that we need to do in order to propel national development and regional development.”
