Beginning its operations last month, SFL Caribbean TV offers a schedule of Caribbean programs daily from noon to 6pm. The station is steadily building it’s programming and is currently available in all of Broward County.

“Our aim is to provide family-friendly, English-speaking Caribbean programs to the large Diaspora in South Florida, starting with Broward County and eventually expanding to Dade and Palm Beach Counties,” says Programs Director, Leonard Afflalo.  “We are starting small but our vision is large as our intention is to eventually operate a 24-hour Caribbean station on several platforms, bringing news, entertainment, sports and shows from a wide cross section of the Caribbean.”

SFL Caribbean TV current program includes: BarriVision’s Gospel Rhythms, Dry Lan’ Touris, and Shelf Life; The Maxine Tulloch Show and Spiritual Oxygen with Pastor Trevor Wallace. The daily Vintage Hour features oldies but goodies such as Oliver, Sarge at Large and other sitcoms.
