The Bermuda Broadcasting Company Ltd. is a commercial, for-profit broadcasting company located in Bermuda. Sometimes abbreviated locally as "BBC", the Bermuda Broadcasting Company is not related to the BBC, the UK's public broadcasting company. The company was founded in the 1950s and grown to be the largest broadcasting company in Bermuda. It was chaired by Fernance B. Perry, a prominent entrepreneur in Bermuda, until his death.
The Bermuda Broadcasting Company's radio stations and TV stations use the call letters "ZFB" and "ZBM".[1] The ZBM call sign has been in use since 1953 for an AM radio station, since 1962 for an FM radio station, making it one of the oldest in Bermuda. Beginning in 1958, the call sign was use for the first Bermudian television station. ZFB was originally the call sign for the radio and TV stations of the Capital Broadcasting Company from 1965 to 1984.
In 2009, a strike by 40 unionized employees in April 2009, halted all programming at the company's radio and television stations for four days. Perry said that changes in work rules and staff pay were needed "to help a financially ailing company". The work stoppage was settled, and normal operations resumed on 21 April, after government mediation.[2]
