Jamaican Broadcasting Service

The Jamaican Broadcasting Service (JBS) is a television network based in the country of Jamaica. It is part of SABH's global distribution network which airs ABN programming in English. JBS launched on June 26, 1984 as part of SABH's expansion. JBS is jointly owned by Adelphia Communications Corporation and ABN International, the main overseas branch of SABH. The parent is ABN Global Television Distribution, a service of the ABN Group. The headquarters are located in Ocho Rios with a branch in Kingston.
JBS operates their flagship website, jbsjamaica.com that provides viewers with schedules, upcoming events, news, local and regional weather, local and regional sports, etc.
Before the formation of Adelphia, JBS was formed as a four-way joint venture between Higgins Broadcasting, Island Television Oakhurst Broadcasting and Sabana Global Broadcast Services, with each gaining 25% stock. After the merger, their new company Adelphia gained three times their stake, but they sold 27% of their shares to the Government of Jamaica in April 2016, who in turn sold them to SGBS later in May.
