In 1999, Aeronautical Telecommunications Limited (AEROTEL) was granted a license to broadcast flight information which was conducted from its office in Montego Bay. Under the terms of the license, Kool 97 FM focuses on music, with special features depicting aspects of Jamaica’s culture. For the convenience of travellers, flight schedules are broadcast at the top of the hour. The station also broad

cast news, sports, weather as well as relevant information pertaining to activities taking place at Jamaica’s International Airports. Kool 97 FM has carved out a niche market in the Jamaican media landscape since hitting the airwaves in November 2001. We programme adult contemporary music, 45% of which is Reggae music. Our target audience consists primarily of persons who are 25 years and over. This group has diverse lifestyle preferences but finds consensus on one issue - Music that is melodic and familiar, the kind they grew up with and the kind that is missing across the stretch of Jamaican bandwidth. With the recent addition of newscasts, Kool 97 FM has created a balance. Listeners are now served the best of music and news content. In addition, the station is continuing to develop music programmes and special features which cover a wide range of subject matters to appeal to advertisers and listeners. In keeping with the mandate of our Broadcast License, Kool 97FM continues to highlight activities in all sectors, including tourism, entertainment, government, business and aviation.

The impact of Reggae is universal.

The hilarious and outspoken comedian and actor Godfrey Comedian shared some wonderful and kind words about the late, Great Jamaican Music Icon Jimmy Cliff

_________

We lost another legendary superstar. Jamaican singer Jimmy Cliff. Jimmy was this old school reggae star. In the same breath as Bob Marley & Peter Tosh. My parents had Jimmy Cliff albums!

One of my favorite songs is “My People.” When I was growing up, that was my jam! I also liked him because he talked about social issues, he sang against apartheid, & social injustice around the world. This man meant a lot to me and to people all over. Rest in peace to an amazing international icon! 🙏🏾
