Although Belize's English-language media can make a welcome break in
a world of Spanish, this doesn't necessarily mean that it's easy to
keep in touch with what's happening in the rest of the world. Local
news takes pride of place in the national newspapers
(published weekly on Friday) and international stories receive very
little attention. In Belize City, San Pedro and some other main
towns you should be able to get hold of foreign publications,
including The Miami Herald, Time and Newsweek.
There are two national television stations, channels 5 and 7,
which broadcast mainly imported American shows, with a few local
news programs. Cable TV, however, is the nation's preferred viewing
medium, giving saturation coverage of American soaps, CNN and
sports.
