About Us
Gayelle The Channel
came on air as a community television station on 16th February, 2004. Gayelle's reach now covers all of the Island
of Trinidad free-to-air, and on Cable (over 200,000 households). It is carried live on cable in Grenada to over 12,000 more
households and is available on the Internet at broadcast quality all over the world. 2007 will see the inauguration of its
presense on Cable in Tobago.
This explosive growth is due to a revolutionary approach to television as a medium
and as a service.
Gayelle has developed over 20 original television series and changed
television viewing habits and assumptions in the Caribbean. Transmitting for 24 hours, 7 days a week, it is the only station
in the region that premiers more than 10 hours of original programming every single day.

At Last We Own Television!
For the first
time in the English speaking Caribbean there is a free-to-air television station that stays in the Caribbean all day, maintaining
constant contact with its audience by telephone, email and on location attempting to use the medium to provide a service -
a channel - that people may see themselves and each other, share experiences and support community and individual initatives
on behalf of all.
This is possible because Gayelle is not owned by any conglomerate, religious or political
interest.
Gayelle has established a relationship with its audience which is unique and
distinct. This relationship is an intimate one, where the community is assurred of access and ownership. Gayelle
represents the appropriation of space on behalf of every single member of its community where none existed before - making
real the slogan: "At Last We own Television".
