Roadblock Radio
Caribbean Radio in Miami
Reggae, dancehall, soca and afrobeats for Miami-Dade, streaming free 24 hours a day and carried on 102.7 HD3 in South Florida.
Carried on WMXJ 102.7 HD3 in South Florida, and streaming everywhere.
Miami and New York are the two ends of the same Caribbean conversation, and Roadblock Radio runs on both. The South Florida carriage sits on 102.7 HD3, and the stream is the same one a listener in Brooklyn is hearing at that moment.
The city sets its own pace. Miami Carnival in October, the Jamaican independence season in August, and a year-round Haitian, Jamaican and Trinidadian audience across North Miami, Miami Gardens and Little Haiti. Island Vibez on Sunday afternoons and Roadblock Island Mix on Saturday nights are the soca anchors.
There is nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for. Press play on the site, use the free apps, or ask Alexa for Roadblock Radio.

What plays
Reggae
Roots, rocksteady, lovers rock and the singers carrying it now. Culture Time and Back To Basics are where the catalogue lives.
Dancehall
The current riddims and the ones that built them, mixed live by DJs who play the parties as well as the radio.
Soca
Trinidad, Barbados, Antigua and the whole carnival calendar. Island Vibez and Roadblock Island Mix run it every week.
Afrobeats
Lagos and Accra sitting next to Kingston and Port of Spain, the way they sit next to each other in a Caribbean party.
Reggaeton and Latin urban
DJ B19 takes Saturday evenings for the Latin urban hour, so the dial does not stop at the English-speaking Caribbean.
Talk and community
Community Connection on Sunday afternoons, and Wealth Mornings With Jen every weekday at noon.
