ST.JOHN’S, ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA — October 28, 2026: Love Link Caribbean, the regional reality dating series filmed in Antigua and Barbuda, has reached a major milestone with its official Jamaican television debut on CVM TV on Monday, October 26, 2026. The expansion into traditional television follows the series’ growing digital success, having garnered more than 2.3 million views since its September 30th debut, with the United States, United Kingdom, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago among its leading viewing markets.
Featuring ten singles from seven Caribbean countries, Love Link Caribbean brings together diverse personalities on a journey of romance, relationships and discovery, with Antigua and Barbuda providing the setting for their experiences. The series has attracted audiences across the Caribbean and its diaspora, demonstrating the appeal of entertainment that reflects the region’s people, cultures and shared experiences.
The Jamaican broadcast is particularly significant for Antigua and Barbuda, as Jamaica ranks among the destination’s top three Caribbean visitor source markets. The move to CVM TV provides another opportunity to connect with Jamaican audiences, strengthen destination awareness and inspire travel through engaging, personality-driven storytelling.
As an Executive Producer of Love Link Caribbean, the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA) has supported the project as part of its commitment to innovative destination marketing, regional collaboration and the growth of Caribbean creative industries.
Shermain Jeremy, Director of Tourism – Caribbean and Latin America at the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, welcomed the development.
“Love Link Caribbean demonstrates the exciting possibilities when tourism, entertainment and Caribbean creativity come together. It allows audiences to see their own cultures and experiences reflected on screen while discovering Antigua and Barbuda in a way that feels authentic and relatable. Jamaica is one of our top three Caribbean visitor source markets, so bringing the series to Jamaican television creates a valuable opportunity to connect with potential visitors and inspire them to experience our destination firsthand. With more than 2.3 million views already recorded, we’re seeing the potential of this approach to destination storytelling.”
For Love Link TV, the move into traditional television represents an important step in expanding the series’ audience and strengthening its presence across the Caribbean. The addition of CVM TV complements the show’s digital distribution, creating new opportunities for viewers to discover the series and engage with its contestants and unfolding storylines.
Donald and Jamila Watkins, Executive Producers of Love Link Caribbean, described the milestone as encouraging development for Caribbean-produced entertainment.
“We created Love Link Caribbean to celebrate the personalities, cultures and connections that make our region unique, while demonstrating that Caribbean stories have the power to engage audiences far beyond our shores. Reaching more than 2.3 million views and now bringing the series to Jamaican television is an exciting milestone for our team. It reflects the talent, creativity and collaboration behind this production, and we’re looking forward to introducing Love Link Caribbean to even more audiences as the journey continues.” said a Love Link representative .
Love Link Caribbean premiered on CVM TV on Monday, October 26, with a special catch-up broadcast of Episodes 1 and 2. Episodes 3 and 4 will air on Thursday, October 29, followed by regular weekly broadcasts on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. The broadcaster is also supporting the series through appearances on its Sunrise morning programme, featuring producers, hosts and eliminated contestants.
The series will remain available on the official Love Link TV YouTube channel, where new episodes will continue to premiere weekly, ensuring audiences across the Caribbean and internationally can follow the journey.
The Jamaican television debut also signals opportunities for broader regional distribution, with discussions underway regarding potential broadcasts in additional Caribbean markets.
For Antigua and Barbuda, the milestone reinforces the value of partnerships that bring together Caribbean talent, entertainment production and tourism. By showcasing the destination through stories and experiences that resonate with regional audiences, Love Link Caribbean offers a fresh approach to promoting romance tourism while contributing to the visibility and growth of the Caribbean creative economy.
