Antiguan media company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pointe Broadcasting Network (PBN) is a media company based in Point, St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. The company has a large social media and radio presence, and also publishes an online newspaper and maintains a television station. The network has various shareholders including a charity owned by Maria Browne, the spouse of prime minister Gaston Browne.[1] There are many programs associated with the company, including The Browne & Browne Show, which has become a major press outlet for Gaston Browne, and its affiliation with the Browne political family has brought it significant resources and viewership. Gaston Browne himself states that he is not a shareholder in the company, although it is general considered to be aligned with his Labour Party government.[1][2] Speaking on behalf of the company, Gaston Browne states that the network is not intended to compete with another Labour Party–aligned outlet, ZDK.[2] PBN is based in the St. John's City West constituency, with an emphasis on Point and Villa.[3]
