In the 1970s, radio and television broadcast veterans Bobby Thomas, Bryan Waller, and brothers Arnold &amp; Dale Kolasingh set up Audio Visual Media (AVM) Caribbean Ltd, a production house that focused on producing commercials and local current affairs programmes. In 1990 AVM Caribbean Ltd went on to become AVM Television. However before commencement of commercial transmission, the Morvart complex was looted during the 1990 attempted coup resulting in loss of equipment. In 1992, AVM Television was launched and became the second privately owned broadcast station in Trinidad and Tobago, the first being the Caribbean Communications Network Channels 6 &amp; 18 (CCN TV6). AVM was best known for its American based Public Service Announcement commercials and local programming such as "Good Morning T&amp;T", "The Midday Show", "Head Start", "On Track", "Caribbean Sports Digest", "Words, Books &amp; Letters", "Cross Country", "Painting for Pleasure" and "Distance Learning TV". Cable feeds from the Sci-Fi Channel and the USA Network was provided occasionally on weekends after station sign-off.
