Broadcasting

The National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission processes four (4) different types of broadcast licenses. These are: FM Radio, AM Radio, Television (Terrestrial) and Subscriber Television (Subscriber Television can either be by means of cable or wireless application).

In the state of Grenada, a Broadcast Licence is a three-part license which includes a class, frequency authorization and service licence. The class license facility covers the transmitters, antennas and any other device or apparatus which forms part of the broadcasting system. The Frequency Authorization authorizes the licensee to legally use the assigned frequency(s) to provide terrestrial broadcasting service. The Service License governs the content aspect of broadcasting service.
