Media

Many of Antigua & Barbuda's broadcast media is politically owned or controlled, although this is now changing. The country's first independent radio station, Observer Radio, launched in 2001 after a five-year struggle to obtain a licence. The daily and weekly press carries a spectrum of opinion, including criticism of the government.

Press

• Some newspapers have political or governmental associations. All are in English.
• The main newspapers are the Antigua Sun (published Monday to Saturday) and the Daily Observer.
• The Worker's Voice is published twice-weekly by Antigua Labour Party and Antigua Trades and Labour Union.

TV

• The local TV station is called ABS (run by Antigua & Barbuda Broadcasting Services).
• Cable television is widely available.

Radio

• Observer Radio and ZDK are commercial broadcasters.
• Sun FM is private and commercial.
• Some radio stations are owned by political or religious factions, such as Crusader Radio, owned by the United Progressive Party.
