I am proud to be able to deliver on this promise in such a significant way. CBL Group has undergone tremendous growth over the last six years and the performance of Summit Broadband has proved significant in contributing to these results. I wish to personally thank the management and staff at Summit Broadband for their contribution to CBL Group performance over the years and wish them well in this next exciting phase of their growth. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their tremendous support and patience and advise them the focus is now clearly on the REV and ALIV operations in The Bahamas.” read more

REV is pleased to once again be a part of the Bahamas National Swimming Championships; an institution that has helped to develop and mould many Bahamian swimmers over the years. The fifteen year, live-broadcast sponsorship has connected athletes with family, friends and spectators across many islands; allowing them to share in key, life-changing moments. This year, REV is proud to deepen that relationship with the Swimming Nationals by becoming the 2018 event title sponsor. The event is set for June 16-19th at the Betty Kelly-Kenning Aquatic Center.
“This year’s sponsorship goes beyond our historic relationship with the Federation, touching instead on a central, resounding core REV belief. We believe that as a community, we have much to learn from these athletes and that many of the attributes demonstrated are those that we strive to achieve as a company” shared Chief Operations Officer, John Gomez.
According to Algernon Cargill, President of the Bahamas Aquatics Federation, “Bahamas Aquatics is excited about the extension of our relationship with REV as the Title Sponsor for the 47th National Swimming Championships. We will benefit not only from REV's financial contribution to our Federation, but also from its brand strength and linkages with its extensive media coverage to promote our Federation throughout its network. It's a win/win partnership for REV and Bahamas Aquatics and we are delighted that our Championships will continue to be broadcast live on OURTV so that thousands of Bahamians can now see the hard work of our athletes as they compete for National Swimming Titles.”
According to VP Marketing, David Burrows “this marks the sixteenth year that REV has sponsored this major sporting event and the first time that it will be available on our new app, REVGO Play. We know the complex will be electric with all the athletes and families but we also welcome the opportunity to share this energy with The Bahamas through our live coverage on OURTV channel 212.” Continuing, Burrows shared, “Not only will spectators have the opportunity to watch the event live but with REVGO Play they can record the event and watch or rewatch at their leisure, all courtesy of the REV connectivity.
Offered at no extra cost to REV customers, REVGO Play delivers up to 50 live TV channels, and 12 local radio stations. The app also gives customers the option to record a total of twenty hours of programming from up to 31 available network digital video recorder (nDVR).
