Roadblock Radio
Caribbean Radio in South Florida
Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach get the same broadcast: reggae, dancehall and soca live around the clock, on 102.7 HD3 and online.
Carried on WMXJ 102.7 HD3 in South Florida, and streaming everywhere.
South Florida is one of the few places in the United States where Caribbean music is not a niche format, it is the local sound. Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, Sunrise, Miramar and North Miami all carry communities big enough to fill a stadium, and Roadblock Radio programmes for them rather than around them.
The weekend is where this market hears itself best. The Daley Grind opens Saturday morning, Island Vybz Saturdayz runs through midday, Full Revvvv takes the late afternoon and Roadblock Island Mix closes the night. Sunday belongs to Garfield's Sunday Experience and, later, to Reality Check.
Listening costs nothing. The stream is on this site, in the free iPhone and Android apps, on Alexa and through iHeart, TuneIn and Audacy.

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.
