TV8 has a local programme mix and separate radio services
Barbados’ Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation describes TV8 as carrying local, regional and international output, with special coverage of political, weather, sporting and cultural events. Its television history records earlier Channel 3 and Channel 9 identities before TV8. The website separately lists 98.1 The One, Vibe 94.7 FM and Q100.7 FM with radio-listening links. Those are distinct services within the corporation, while Live TV is the television destination.
The visible schedule contains an October programme week
During this November review, the guide itself identified 19–25 October 2026. Its Friday-to-Sunday table included Mornin’ Barbados, Mornin’ Barbados Replay, CBC Newsday, CBC News Night, This Week in Parliament and This Week in Barbados. That gives a useful picture of the named local formats, including separately labelled original and replay output. It does not establish their times for this week. The publisher also explicitly warns that the schedule may change.
Programme dates and landing-page messages answer different questions
The guide’s site header carried a November date, but that did not change the October week printed in the table. Similarly, short coming-soon notices on the inspected TV8 and MCTV landing pages described those pages, rather than proving that broadcasting had stopped. For live television, the site’s Live TV route is more direct than a placeholder landing page. For a previous news or parliamentary programme, its actual programme collection is more useful than treating an old timetable cell as a current player.
