CBC Radio (Barbados)

CBC Radio is the flagship radio station of the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation, Barbados' public broadcaster. It broadcasts on 900 kHz (AM) and 94.7 MHz (FM).

CBC Radio was introduced in 1963 as the first wireless radio station in Barbados. (Previously Barbados had a wired cable Rediffusion service from 1935-1997.) CBC Radio was the only wireless radio station in Barbados until Voice of Barbados 790 AM was introduced in 1981. It was known as "Radio Barbados" and is now known as CBC 900 AM, The Caribbean's Best Connection.

Local programs include "Under the Sandbox Tree", "What's Your Opinion" and other programs. It also presents radio broadcasts of some sporting events (though international events originating outside of Barbados, such as Champions' Trophy Cricket, is blacked out on the internet feed). When no regularly-scheduled programs are heard, CBC Radio plays all Caribbean music. The station has news updates on the hour and a major newscasts which are held at 6AM, 1PM and 7PM. The station used to air obituary announcements, but that is now aired on its sister station, Quality 100.7 FM.
