Dominica Broadcasting Corporation (also known on-air as DBS or DBS Radio) is the national radio station of the Commonwealth of Dominica.[3] The service, owned by the local government,[3] is headquartered on Victoria Street in the island's capital, Roseau.[4] Broadcast on the 88.1 FM frequency[2] (along with several others across the island nation),[5] DBS' signal is also picked up across the Eastern Caribbean.[1]
The company was founded in 1971 as Radio Dominica, and upon its launch replaced programming provided to the island by WIBS, the Windward Islands Broadcasting Service of Grenada.[4] Programs from DBS over the years have included The Dominica Story (a year before its 1975 publication in book form)[6] and Experience Kwéyòl (Espéwéyans Kwéyòl).[7][8]
