96.9 FM GuardianRadio

A Bahamian news and talk station operating alongside the national newspaper of the same group, carrying bulletins, current affairs and call-in programming from Nassau. Talk radio matters particularly here during hurricane season: the Bahamas sits directly in the Atlantic track, storms reaching it are frequently catastrophic, and radio does something no other medium manages — it keeps working when the power and the towers do not, carrying shelter locations, evacuation orders and afterwards the slow business of accounting for people.
