The Parliament Channel is a cable television station in Trinidad and Tobago which broadcasts on cable channel 11. It broadcasts proceedings of the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago. The station began operation on a test basis on August 18, 2006. The live debates are also simulcast on NCC TV channels 4 & 16.
The idea of broadcasting parliamentary proceedings was first cited by then Opposition Senator Roi Kwabena at a panel discussion during a heated debate with the then Government Senator Camille Robinson-Regis on the topic: "Television Media Coverage and Parliament" chaired by a British MP delegate at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association's Conference held at the Hilton Hotel in 1993. It was again suggested by the Independent Senators in 2005.
