Hitz FM 91.9

One of Antigua's leading commercial stations, carrying urban music, dancehall, soca and contemporary hits for Saint John's and the wider island. Antigua's Carnival runs from late July into early August, timed around the anniversary of emancipation rather than the church calendar, and the station builds toward it through the summer. Steelband is unusually strong here for a small island, and Panorama results are argued over on air for days afterwards — much as cricket is, in a country that produced Sir Vivian Richards.
