The core team of BBC Caribbean is to be found at the historic home of the BBC’s World Service at Bush House. But, our extended
team includes the region’s top journalists across the Caribbean and in the US.
As part of the BBC, the world’s largest international radio broadcaster, BBC Caribbean also taps into the corporation’s unbeatable string of correspondents across the world. So, a trade story can start in one of the Eastern Caribbean territories, be followed through to a trade official in Brussels of Geneva, and be given that all-important context through a correspondent in Africa or the Pacific. That’s what being part of the BBC newsgathering family means for the Caribbean Service. Stringers In turn, Caribbean stringers are often asked to put the region on the world map when they’re called up by World Service newsgathering teams to provide coverage of a big local event. The Caribbean stream of BBC World Service in English can be heard on FM in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Antigua. Selected programmes can also be heard through 51 partner stations across the Caribbean and in Washington. The BBC Caribbean audience in the region is just over one million people. It also has a growing audience from the large Caribbean diaspora in many parts of the world. Shortwave On shortwave, loyal listeners continue to follow the programming.

Popular topics have included the debate over passa passa, the future of West Indies cricket, and the Barbadian school principal who sent home girls with short skirts. The Service plans more debates in the future as the demand for interactivity grows.
