VOB 92.9 FM

The Voice of Barbados, and the island's principal news and talk station. VOB carries bulletins, current affairs and the call-in programming that functions as a genuine national forum — Barbadian talk radio is combative, well-informed and widely listened to, covering everything from government policy to the state of the roads. Cricket dominates whenever the West Indies are playing, and Kensington Oval in Bridgetown is one of the sport's significant grounds. Alongside the talk the station carries soca, particularly through the Crop Over season. For a listener abroad it is the fastest available read on what Barbados is arguing about this week.
