Roadblock Radio
Jamaican Radio in the USA
Reggae, dancehall and a daily Caribbean newsroom, for Jamaicans in New York, New Jersey, Florida and everywhere else the stream reaches.
Jamaican radio in the United States has usually meant a weekend show borrowed from somebody else's frequency. Roadblock Radio runs the whole week: Jamaican hosts, Jamaican music and Jamaican news, on a schedule that does not stop on Monday.
Richie B opens the week. Da Blenda, Culture Time and Back To Basics carry the reggae catalogue. The news desk publishes Caribbean stories every day, and the archive behind it runs to thousands of them.
You can hear it in a browser, in the free apps, on a smart speaker, and on 101.1 HD3 in New York and New Jersey or 102.7 HD3 in South Florida.
