History

ZFB-TV was founded in August 1965 by Capital Broadcasting Company Ltd. Originally, the station broadcast on VHF channel 8. In 1982, Capital Broadcasting Company merged with Bermuda Broadcasting Company and ZFB-TV was moved to channel 7.

Digital television

On the week of March 9, 2016,[1] Bermuda Broadcasting ended analog broadcasts and converted ZFB-TV and ZBM-TV to digital television, with both services sharing a multiplex on channel 20. The transmitter was knocked out of service some time later when lightning struck the transmitter. In 2017, in time for the America's Cup, Bermuda Broadcasting completed an upgrade that added a second transmitter for ZFB, using virtual channel 19.7, allowing both ZFB and ZBM to broadcast in HD; it also replaced its radio transmitters.[2]
