BROADCASTING UNIT (Radio Montserrat)
Overview of Department:
The mandate of Radio Montserrat is to inform, educate and entertain the populace of Montserrat, including the diaspora.
The establishment of the station as a private enterprise in 1952 coincided with the defeat of the merchant/planter class, as ordinary people exercised adult suffrage for the first time. There was a move at that to inform and educate people on social and economic issues affecting their livelihood. Government of Montserrat recognized this and the value of having an informed citizenry and took over Radio Montserrat in 1957.
Mission
To provide news, original content, information on government and community activities, and services that inform, entertain and educate all the residents of Montserrat and the overseas listening audience.
