Belize
The constitution guarantees media freedom, but provides exceptions in the interest of national security, public order and morality. Belize has no daily newspapers; some of the privately owned weeklies are subsidised by political parties. State-run radio was privatized in 1998 and listeners now rely on a range of private commercial stations, most of them networked across the country. A number of private television stations are on the air and cable TV is available in the towns.
Press: The major weeklies include Amandala, The Belize Times, The Reporter and The San Pedro Sun, which is a community paper, published on the island of Ambergris Caye. Belize Today is a monthly official paper published in English. The Guardian is a United Democratic Party-affiliated paper.
TV: Commercial channels include Channel 5, Channel 7 and Channel 9.
Radio: Love FM is a commercial, music and news station. Estereo Amor is a private, Spanish-language station. Krem FM is a commercial station. More FM is a private, music station targeted at younger listeners and Wave Radio is United Democratic Party-affiliated.
