Contents

Radio Cayman's first broadcast was on 12 April 1976 but regular programmes did not begin until December of that year. [1] [5] The station's most recent licence was issued on 11 December 2003, [6] [7] but it was amended on 18 October 2007 to reflect the move of the main Radio Cayman 1 transmitter in Grand Cayman and its Cayman Brac translator to the same 93.9 MHz frequency.
