Jamaicans abroad were excited with news of the launch of a radio station with them at the centre – The Bridge 99FM. That was in July.In November, the Caribbean Global Network-owned station launched into Canada with a series of simulcasts with G98.7FM."This is the very first time that three commercial stations from Canada, New York and Jamaica are simulcasting, all in the name of connecting Jamaica with the US/Canadian Diaspora,” said the network’s boss Bobby Clarke.“It is hugely significant as it allows listeners/viewers in these markets to be connected through a virtual media super highway that will benefit them culturally," he added.Clarke said he would continue to work to strengthen connections with the diaspora. He sees Jamaicans as the strongest promoters of the country abroad.We repeat this 2021 episode with Clarke and Impacting Jamaica host Shelly-Ann Harris. Hosted on Acast.
