The winner of the CBU Caribbean Broadcasting Awards People’s Choice category has been announced.
The winner is the television feature “Triple Joy” entered by Great Belize Productions Ltd.
The entry was the runaway winner in on-line voting on the CBU website from May 30, 2018 to July 19, 2018.
Polling over fifty-five thousand votes, the story about the birth of triplets was well ahead of the other entries from Great Belize and from the Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas.
