History

DBS launched in 1989 and was founded by the Daher couple of Syrian origin. [1] Like what happens with its competing channel HTS, DBS broadcasts entirely in English, with no airtime given for Kwéyòl, except for occasional use. [2] On December 17, 2002, it obtained a new broadcasting license. [3]

During the 2010s, one of its main personalities was Alex Bousquets, nicknamed Mr. Streetvibes. He died on October 10, 2021. [4] Lissa Joseph worked at DBS since 2011, on radio and later on television. She died on January 6, 2026, aged 43. [5]
