 Beginning in the mid-1980s, the CBU created several regionally syndicated programmes including "CaribScope", "Caribbean Newsline", "Caribbean News Review", "Caribbean Business Weekly", "Talk Caribbean", the "Caribbean Song Festival", "Riddim Express" and the "CaribVision" television news exchange, among other programmes.These were some of the first television programmes to contribute to a nascent regional integration movement and enjoyed wide viewership, particularly "CaribScope", a magazine containing arts, cultural and general-interest features submitted by member stations.Leadership of the association is mainly rotated between representatives of the affiliated media houses.
