To increase the listener base RJR distributed around 200 rediffusion speakers to police stations, retail stores and schools.
In 1953, Jamaica became the first of the British colonies in the Caribbean to offer FM broadcasting when RJR began using the technology.
[2] The Jamaican government acquired the station from the British Rediffusion Group in the 1970s and divested its interest through stock sales to organizations and individuals to facilitate RJR becoming a fully Jamaican-owned company.
[1] The station broadcasts several programmes featuring Jamaican and international music, news, talk shows, listener questions and professional answers.
Ralston McKenzie's Sunday Contact, a show that reaches out islandwide by radio for missing persons is another programme.
