Cable Bahamas is planning a 2021 adjustment to its TV channel packages to better reflect consumer demands and enhance its competitiveness against rival video streaming services.
Franklyn Butler, the BISX-listed communications provider s president, yesterday told Tribune Business that the proposed repackaging involves channel changes rather than price increases after the plans were revealed by the Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA).
The communications sector regulator, in its just-released draft 2021 annual plan, said it planned to hold a public consultation on Cable Bahamas proposed revisions during the 2021 first quarter so that impacted consumers could make their views known. In November 2020, Cable Bahamas submitted an application to URCA requesting approval for the repackaging of its RevTV service, URCA said. URCA believes the repackaging application will be of significant interest to Pay TV consumers in The Bahamas.
