He says Saint Lucia FM will support and celebrate of Saint Lucian talent as the station will reflect our voice, our culture, and our creativity.
The resumption of broadcasting on the former Radio Saint Lucia frequency 97.3FM is made possible through a strategic alliance with the Helen Television System. This initial agreement allows Saint Lucia FM to leverage the infrastructure provided by the media company, paving the way for a smooth transition towards full autonomy in other phases of development of the station.
The decision to collaborate with an established media entity was driven by the urgency to restore 97.3FM to the airwaves promptly. This alliance ensures that the cherished public broadcasting station will swiftly return to serve the nation, upholding its mission to be the primary voice for the community.
Saint Lucia FM will serve as a trusted source for news and information, most significantly, during natural disasters, reinforcing its role as a lifeline in times of national need. The station’s public service mandate will ensure accurate, timely, and life-saving information reaches every Saint Lucian household when it matters most.
Initially operating an automated 4-hour weekly loop as part of Phase 1, Saint Lucia FM will also broadcast live all major national events. The other phases of development will introduce a full-fledged broadcast station with dedicated staff and equipment.
