What One Caribbean Media Limited does

One Caribbean Media Limited (OCM) is a publicly listed Caribbean media conglomerate headquartered in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, trading on the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange (ticker: OCM) and cross-listed on the Barbados Stock Exchange. The company was formed in January 2006 through the merger of Caribbean Communications Network (CCN) and the Nation Corporation, and has since expanded from 9 brands at the time of merger to 20 brands spanning print, broadcast television, radio, cable and broadband, renewable energy, video production, digital services, and packaging manufacturing. OCM's core operating subsidiaries include Caribbean Communications Network, the Nation Group, Starcom Network, Grenada Broadcasting Network (GBN, majority-owned), Green Dot Limited (telecom, 51%), and One Caribbean Flexipac Industries and Solutions (OCFS, 55%).

The company's product surface is multi-platform by design: broadcast television (CCN TV6 in T&T, GBN in Grenada), print (Trinidad Express founded 1967, Nation Publishing in Barbados founded 1973), a regional radio network (HOTT 93, TAJ 92.3, i95.5, RED 96.7, W107 in T&T; The Wave in St. Lucia; Starcom's VOB 92.9, HOTT 95.3, LIFE 97.5, The Beat 104.1 in Barbados; Caribbean Superstation covering Antigua, St. Kitts, and BVI), cable and broadband telecom (Green Dot, operating since 2005 with Dedicated Internet Access, Managed Network Services, Cybersecurity, and Enterprise Consulting), renewable energy (Innogen solar in Barbados and the wider Caribbean), digital services (Novo Media — website, mobile app, social media, SMS), video production (Six Point Productions, content aired on TV6, ESPN, Fox Sports, BET), and packaging manufacturing (Flexipac/OCFS in San Juan, Trinidad, with COMEXI printing/laminating/slitting equipment and Kodak Computer-to-Plate technology, HACCP-certified in 2025).

OCM generates revenue through a diversified set of mechanisms typical of multi-platform media groups: advertising across broadcast, print, radio, and digital properties; circulation and retail newsstand sales for print (Trinidad Express reaches 75,000+ daily readers, over 40% of T&T's reading population; the Express website draws 140,000+ monthly unique visitors); subscription and usage-based fees for cable/broadband and enterprise telecom services; sale of flexographically printed packaging to customers across T&T and CARICOM; and renewable energy systems sales. The Trinidad Express also holds premium content rights including Caribbean Premier League (CPL), FIFA World Cup, and Olympics broadcasts via TAJ 92.3. Geographic reach spans Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, and the British Virgin Islands. Group leadership is led by Dawn Thomas (Group CEO), with subsidiary CEOs running The Nation Group (Noel R. Wood) and GBN (Janelle Dick, COO). OCM currently emphasizes strategic growth in the New Media/Digital segment and the regional radio network; no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the source data.

Regional players

• Nation Media Group: East Africa's largest media conglomerate operating newspapers, TV, and radio across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Structurally similar diversified multi-platform media conglomerate in an emerging market, but operating in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Gannett Co. Largest U.S. newspaper publisher (USA Today, 200+ local papers). Comparable to OCM's Trinidad Express and Nation Publishing newspaper operations as a publicly listed multi-title newspaper publisher navigating digital transition, though at vastly greater scale.
• Digicel Group: Pan-Caribbean mobile and broadband operator providing telecom services across 25 Caribbean markets. Comparable to OCM's Green Dot as a major regional telecom competitor with substantially greater scale and brand recognition.
• Liberty Latin America: Large publicly listed telecoms operator (NASDAQ: LILA) owning Cable & Wireless Communications, Flow, and Liberty across Caribbean and Latin America. Directly comparable to OCM's Green Dot cable/broadband subsidiary, but with vastly greater scale and infrastructure investment capacity.
• Nexstar Media Group: Largest U.S. television broadcaster (NASDAQ: NXST) operating hundreds of local TV stations. Comparable to OCM's TV6 (T&T) and GBN (Grenada) free-to-air broadcast operations as a multi-station television group, though at vastly greater scale and U.S. market focus.
• iHeartMedia: U.S. publicly listed radio conglomerate (NASDAQ: IHRT) operating the largest radio network in the Americas. Comparable business model to OCM's multi-station Caribbean radio portfolio (HOTT 93, TAJ 92.3, i95.5, RED 96.7, W107, Starcom, Caribbean Superstation) but at far greater scale.

Direct peers

• Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation (CBC): State-owned broadcaster in Barbados operating television and radio networks. Comparable as a national Caribbean broadcaster operating in one of OCM's key markets (Barbados), creating direct competitive overlap in radio and TV advertising.
• RJRGLEANER Communications Group: Jamaica's largest media conglomerate operating television, radio, and print newspapers (The Gleaner, Jamaica Observer). Directly comparable to OCM as a publicly listed Caribbean multi-platform media group with national broadcast and print dominance.
• Guardian Media Limited: Trinidad and Tobago's primary competing media group operating Trinidad Guardian newspaper, TV stations, and radio. Closest direct competitor in OCM's home market with overlapping print, broadcast, and digital audience coverage.
• Caribbean Communications Inc. (CCI): Barbados-based cable TV and broadband operator serving the Barbadian market. Comparable to OCM's Green Dot as a regional Caribbean cable/broadband provider competing for the same Caribbean subscriber base.
