Starcom Network began its life as Radio Distribution (Barbados) Limited, with the introduction of the first broadcast station then located at Wildey, St. Michael in 1935.
At that time, the company transmitted its broadcast signal using a cable network system, known as subscription radio.
The service (basically a large PA system) later renamed Barbados Rediffusion was broadcast via cable to wall-mounted textured wood finished receivers.
[1] The premier presenters were the incomparable Alfred Pragnell (now the late Alfred Pragnell), the incomparable Olga Lopes-Seale (now the late Olga Lopes-Seale), Maurice Norville and David Ellis.
It changed to Starcom Network in 1999 with the studio headquarters now located on River Road in the capital city of Bridgetown, St. Michael.
