KINGSTON, Jamaica – Popular media personality Khadine ‘Miss Kitty’ Hylton headlines several new additions to CVM-TV’s ‘Sunrise’ show aimed at enhancing the viewing experience and strengthening the network’s position in the critical morning hours.

At its content showcase, dubbed the ‘CVMMYS’ held at Palace Cineplex in Kingston, CVM outlined its new direction, which includes an updated logo mark and brand image,

“Today represents another chapter on this exciting journey for CVM with our new look logo and our new look channel which will debut on air in July,” said Olly McIntosh, Chief Executive Officer of CVM. “The enhanced programming featuring Wayne Marshall, Miss Kitty, Dennis, Tami and Kerlyn plus our expanded reach repositions CVM to deliver an unrivaled viewing experience for the Jamaican and Diaspora audience.”

With a renewed commitment to delivering exceptional entertainment, CVM shared that they will be adding fresh original local content through the likes of Wayne Marshall, who will be the host of The Cut – a male-centric talk show set in a local barbershop where celebrity and everyday guests can let their guard down and share their perspectives on a wide range of male issues.

Since the acquisition, we have completed significant investment and work to expand coverage across the island, repairing and relighting 15 of our 17 transmission sites to their maximum wattage. These sites were previously non-functional,. And with a mobile app in the works for the last quarter of this year, we are more focused than ever to put the spotlight on local culture and talent and export that to the Diaspora and globally.”
