On April 2, 1935, Barbados began a quiet but transformative journey in broadcasting with the introduction of a wired radio distribution system in Wildey, St. Michael. This early service delivered audio directly into homes and public spaces, connecting Barbadians to global events such as the 1935 Silver Jubilee of King George V.
