ABOUT CHANNEL 5

Great Belize Productions Ltd. began operations as a small video production facility in 1982, less than one year after the introduction of television to Belize. With a staff never numbering more than five people, it specialized in producing commercials, documentaries and corporate promotions for airing on the rapidly proliferating number of "pirate " stations. In 1991 GBP was granted a broadcasting license by the government and became the nation's first television station with its own production capability.

Since that time, broadcasting on Channel 5 from Belize City and repeating on different frequencies throughout the country, Great Belize Television has become Belize's leading television station and foremost provider of local and regional programming. Operating with a staff of 20, the station has gained an international reputation for producing high quality work from very limited resources.
Great Belize Productions Ltd. is a privately held company incorporated under the laws of Belize. Primary shareholders include the family of Stewart and Lita Krohn, BHI Corporation and several other Belizean individuals and companies.
