Rooster 101

Something genuinely unexpected on a Caribbean dial: a country music station. Rooster 101 broadcasts country to Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands, and its audience is not an expatriate curiosity but a long-standing local one — country has had a real and durable following in Cayman for decades. The islands' own traditional music is string-based, played on fiddle and guitar, which makes the affinity less surprising than it first appears. Alongside the music the station carries local news, community announcements and the island's festival coverage.
