State broadcaster ABS Television is expected to relocate to new facilities at the Caribbean Cinemas complex on Friars Hill Road within the next two months, government officials said during Thursday’s post-Cabinet media briefing.
Director General of Communications in the Office of the Prime Minister, Maurice Merchant, confirmed that the move is already underway.
“The contract for your new location has been signed,” Merchant said. “The Department of Works will move immediately later this week, being tomorrow and the weekend, to start its overview and review of the facilities — the new facilities for ABS within the Caribbean Cinemas building on the Friars Hill Road.”
Merchant said the relocation is intended to address problems affecting the current ABS building and ensure the broadcaster can operate in a more suitable environment.
“In the interim, Public Works will be making some adjustments at your current facilities,” he said.
He added that the government expects the transition to take place soon.
“So anticipation within two months or less that you should be within your new facilities,” Merchant said.

The ALP creates the situation then come back with the solutions monetized . The UPP built the car park that would have housed ABS TV and ALP came in and stall that, now is Hadeed building they going to rent to house them, be prepared for a next Syrian building to house the APUA striking staff.

Recently there was an announcement that ABS will be relocated to the car park at East bus station. Now it’s been announced that ABS will be hosted in Caribbean Cinemas.
Will this be another expense of renting for the Gov’t more so in prime area?
Is Social Security another ” public ” institution renting private property in prime area?
It’s full time that the Gov’t get their own buildings so their expenditure can be put to better use so that the people of the country can benefit more.
The monies allocated for the sound stage and equipments to be purchased by the government should have been allocated to retrofit part of the old Deluxe Cinema building which is allegedly been retrofitted for an Arts and Entertainment Complex.
PPP – Piss Poor Planning and PPM – Piss Poor Management continues to abuse the public monies.
But, it’s the norm in this MEGA POWERHOUSE NATION where priorities are 🙃screwed up and lock away in the lunatic asylum.
Great place to do a remake of, “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest;” where the entire storyline is scripted and set in the Parliament Building.
