I still haven't found a radio to bring... I'm wondering what your favorite stations are? a brief search on the internet turned up tropix105.5. thoughts?

Island 92 -- 91.9FM We listen to them on the island and stream them at home/work all the time.

I tuned in earlier today.. they were playing american oldies.. rolling stones... stuff like that.. does that make up their main playlists? thx

Tradewinds Radio

Try Oasis 96.3. OK on Dutch side but you lose it on French side. We have this station tuned on our radio for 2 weeks each time we visit. Phyllis Maitland's show 50s/60s music Mondays, 70s music Tuesdays, 80s on Wednesdays, etc. Great station with very few commercials.

only radio station worth listening to on SXM is Island 92....and Soc is the BEST!!!!!!

please tell me what these stations predominantly play. tropix seemed to have island music

The weekends for Island 92, are mostly syndicated shows like 'Cool CAT' and "Underground Garage'.. frankly not the same as their weekdays. Weekdays are different. Someone mentioned Soc, and yes, we love his show too... I listen here at work to him almost every morning. I will tell you that I listen less for the music, and more for the island news and flavor. Soc and 'Mr. Skin' are GREAT for that.

Music is mostly the stuff I grew up with. Kinda a classic 60-80s mix.

listen for yourself

you're a gem. I peeked while at work (saw some UGH jimmy buffet) but will try again when I get home.. YAY.. now to buy a radio.. AND YESS TRADEWINDS thank you.. this is a nice mix of music... and some humor between ... just what I'm looking for. grazie (OH and I shopped and couldn't find a decent radio..... damn.. the flamingo last year only had a clock.. no radio...)

Not SXM, but we also like to listen to an Aguilla station - I think its 95.5
Get a kick out the announcer reading out the grocery ads in a lovely island accent ... 48 oz can of Allens Apple juice $8.29 ..." and the music is nice

your phone or laptop with portable speakers works great

And ear buds are even better for the beach in case the person next to you on the beach would rather listen to the wind and waves than a commercial radio station....

buy you a satellite radio

I used to take a water-resistant radio and lay in the surf and tape local music. I spent a BUNDLE transferring those tapes to cds before the technology became simple. Irie FM ... I should have thought ahead and bought an eco-extreme radio, not just the unit for phones and pods.

Radio St. Barth...since day one!
