New York, NY - December 28, 2009 - One Caribbean Radio (OCR) 97.9 FM HD2 has taken a giant and courageous leap into the technologically advanced radio spectrum, by broadcasting on the latest platform since FM began 50 years ago. First HD TV- crystal-clear images, now HD Radio - crystal-clear digital sound.
OCR 97.9 FM HD2 is now broadcasting to the number one Media Market in the world, the New York Tri-state region, in total DIGITAL quality. Never before has Caribbean broadcasting ventured into such a dynamic direction.
One Caribbean Radio (OCR), an entity of One Caribbean Media Inc., is a full service communications company, offering comprehensive and culturally diverse "GLOBAL MIX" programming to Caribbean, American and World audiences. OCR was launched in October,2007, on 620 AM , under the "Caribbean Weekend" banner, broadcasting from Friday night to Sunday night, for a total of 36 hours. In October, 2008, OCR expanded its broadcast schedule, in response to the needs of our listening communities, as well as to increase our on-air presence by transitioning to a seven (7) day, sun up to sun down, format on 740 AM. This programming included news, information, features, music, health segments and live, in-studio, community-targeted interviews during our morning and afternoon drive times.
In September, 2009, OCR launched its 7-day, 24-hour programming on 97.9 FM HD2, and added to its format, national and international, live and caller-driven programs, which feature Caribbean, International and Community leaders and organizations. We have also expanded and widened the line up of on air personalities to reflect our "GLOBAL MIX" format.
Caribbean Radio broadcasting has been revolutionized and transformed through this incredible new wave of HD Radio technology. This move into the cutting edge of technology will allow all peoples of Caribbean heritage to tell their story to the world. Our history, culture, traditions, academic brilliance, sporting achievements, tourist attractions and many other aspects of our existence will be on full display.
A futuristic program rollout is expected in mid January 2010.
Our Listeners beyond the New York Tri-state area can also enjoy this cutting edge quality broadcast (24 x 7) via the World Wide Web at www.onecaribbeanradio.com.
