Caribbean Entertainers And Business People Move To Replace WLIB

In the wake of the sale of WLIB-FM, a radio station that has served the Caribbean population in New York City for 30 years, a group of Caribbean business men and entertainers have joined forces to create a new station.

Currently made up of business men such as Tony Miller and Bobby Vera, along side veteran performer Mighty Sparrow, the group was formed to fill the void left in the community after the unceremonious demise of a station that has served it for decades.

The new station will follow a 24/7 format of “news, views, interviews and good music,” according to Miller. The station will showcase the best of yesterday and today’s Reggae, Dancehall, Rocksteady, Calypso, Soca and Gospel music. The call letters and frequency are currently under wraps but they are ambitiously looking forward to an April 1st launch date.

The most important ingredient needed to solidify this venture is capital. The unnamed consortium is seeking start-up capital to back their valiant efforts. Anyone interested in becoming part of the foundation of this Caribbean owned and operated radio station should contact Tony Miller at 718-641-5198.

In closing Mr. Miller states, “We are just looking to save the music.”
