Introduction to ZNS, Radio Bahamas That's "Zed-N-S" -- the British pronounciation -- of course. Yes, you can easily hear Bahamian radio in Florida -- and beyond!! The Bahamas, an independent country (former British colony) is just east of the east coast of southeast Florida. Nassau (on the island of New Providence) is due east of the northern keys; Freeport (on Grand Bahama Island) is east of Palm Beach County. Comprised of many islands, the Bahamas are a popular tourist destination. Most of the cruises to the Bahamas originate in Miami or Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades). This is a great way to visit the Bahamas! Nelles Verlag Folded Map: Bermuda, Bahamas ZNS, the Bahamian government-operated radio station, broadcasts on three AM broadcast band frequencies (per the table below), all of which can be easily heard in southern Florida. ZNS is by far the easiest English-language non-US radio station to pick up in south Florida. It's so easy -- it's like picking up Canadian stations in the frozen northern US! But it should be challenging DX for folks elsewhere in the south! ZNS carries local news and sports events, talk -- and even BBC news. In addition to local, religious, and Caribbean music, you can also hear oldies and jazz. ZNS-2 now calls itself Inspiration 1240. ZNS Bahama-izes Playlist (January 2003) ... ZNS has announced "We have Bahama-ized our playlist so you can hear more Bahamian music." That's great news! It'll make it more interesting than (or at least more different from) Miami radio stations. That's what we like: more choices! Note: Several south Florida stations have a Caribbean format, and many more have at least some Caribbean programming, as described the South Florida Radio Pages.. These pages are being updated and moved to this new site now.

Also a built-in LED light for illumination, a flashing red emergency light, an emergency siren, and a cellphone charger. For example: If you are close to WAXY (790), it might prevent you from getting ZNS-3 (810). In Palm Beach County, WBZT (1230) might prevent you from getting ZNS-2 (1240). In northern Broward County, WEXY (1520) might prevent you from getting ZNS-1 (1540). Just turning or moving your radio might help. There are also FM and TV stations in the Bahamas, but you're unlikely to pick them up in Florida without special equipment or unusual conditions. You can find out more about ZNS and other Caribbean radio and TV stations in the 2007 edition of the World Radio TV Handbook 2007: The Directory of Global Broadcasting (WRTH). I'm A Long-Time ZNS Fan I've been a ZNS fan and a radio geek since I was a teenager. I wrote the following about ZNS in 1971, as part of Radio News, in the Hollywood Herald and North Dade Herald-Crier. I wrote this in 1971 I first listened to ZNS-1 when I was a teenager, in the late 1960s or early 70s. I even wrote to their deejay Kirby Brooks, whose name I recognized from Miami's WGBS (710), where he had been employed previously. (I think I still have his reply ... somewhere!) Of course, there will be more about ZNS in future editions of Radio News. Enjoy listening! The South Florida Radio Pages need your support! Please click the button above to donate via PayPal.
