Southern Command Network
The Southern Command Network (SCN) was a unit of the American Forces Network whose primary market was the Panama Canal Zone. Its operation was provided initially by Armed Forces Radio (AFN) at Albrook Field and later as the Caribbean Forces Network at Fort Clayton with translators on the Atlantic side of the Canal Zone. In the early 1960s with reorganization of the command located in the Canal Zone, CFN became the Southern Command Network (SCN). SCN also broadcast to U.S. troops stationed in Honduras starting in 1987. SCN discontinued broadcasting on 1 July 1999[1] just before the 31 December[2] turnover of the Canal Zone to the Republic of Panama when U.S. troops were removed from that country under the Torrijos-Carter Treaties.
SCN also operated in Honduras; its radio stations are now under the control of AFN Europe.
