Since 1974, Banyan has distinguished itself as a producer of innovative and entertaining programmes which aim at the same time to inform and reflect Caribbean people and culture. This mixture of entertainment and social comment so akin to the Calypso, the folk song form originating in Trinidad, has become identified as the Banyan style and is applied in the hundreds of productions Banyan has presented in the last 36 years. While maintaining and developing links with its community through co-productions with cultural organisations, trades unions, and community organisations, Banyan works internationally to have the region seen through the eyes of the Caribbean, producing on international standard video and film, for the world market.
Banyan developed out of the Trinidad & Tobago Television Workshop formed in 1974 dedicated to providing Trinidad & Tobago and the region with quality local television productions.
Exploring many formats: documentary, drama, public information, music and dance, Banyan has continued to develop a uniquely Caribbean approach which has been labelled Call and Response Television.
In 1977 Banyan produced the Anglophone Caribbean's first 'soap opera', a 13 part drama series on family life. WHO THE C.A.P. FITS . . . This was followed by other drama series and documentaries.
