Tropical Vision Limited, or as it is locally known, Channel 7, is a Belize City based television station operating since 1981.

Its Managing Director is Nestor Vasquez.

Programming

Channel 7 airs a mix of American and Belizean programmes.

7 News

Prior to 1994, Channel 7 got its news from local radio powerhouse Radio Belize. Beginning on February 14, 1994, 7 News began producing its own newscast, running opposite Great Belize Television's News 5 Live.

7 News still airs in the same slot as News 5 Live, except that an extra repeat newscast airs at 12:00 PM from Monday to Saturday. There are no regular weekend newscasts other than Friday repeats; 7 News has aired two one-time only Saturday evening newscasts, the latest coming in April 2005 in the midst of the protests in Belize.

Criticism

Channel 7 is usually more critical of Government foibles than rival Channel 5, and Government officials have pointedly criticized 7 for its hard-hitting analysis of national issues.
