Radio Bimshire 106.1 FM

A Barbadian station taking its name from Bimshire, the island's affectionate name for itself, and carrying local and Caribbean music. Programming leans toward the home-grown — Barbadian soca, which tends to run faster and more insistently than the Trinidadian variety, built for the particular demands of Crop Over — alongside reggae, gospel and the wider regional catalogue. The station's audience extends to a diaspora long established in the United Kingdom, New York and Toronto.
