National Communications Network, Guyana

On 1 March 2004, GBC and the Guyana Television Broadcasting Company (GTV) combined to form NCN.

[1][4] In 1935, the demand for cricket commentary motivated the development of early radio broadcasting.

[5] Station ZFY operated from the Post Office until the building was consumed by the Great Fire of Georgetown in February 1945.

[6] When the government of Guyana took over BGBS in 1968, additional facilities at Hadfield street Lodge were created and opened the station to technical aid from BBC's Bush House in London.

After the official inauguration of the GBC in 1979, the Guyana government[7] acquired all assets of Radio Demerara from Rediffusion organization, Broadcasting Relay (Overseas) Limited.
