Viya is a telecommunications company that provides landline, mobile telephone, Internet, and cable television services in the United States Virgin Islands. Viya is a subsidiary of ATN International. Prior to its acquisition by ATN, it was formerly known as Innovative Communications Corporation. In 2015, Choice Communications, which was a former rival telecommunications company and a subsidiary of ATN, purchased Innovative for $145 Million[1] and completed the sale on July 1, 2016.[2] In 2017, ATN merged both Innovative and Choice to form Viya.[3]

Viya owned the Virgin Islands Daily News until 2008, when it was purchased by Times-Shamrock Communications. Viya formerly operated cable TV services in Sint Maarten until October 2016, when it was acquired by the TelEm Group.[4] They also had formerly operated cable TV services in the British Virgin Islands as well, until their cable systems were destroyed by Hurricane Irma on September 6, 2017.[5]
