Caribbean Radio Lighthouse

Caribbean Radio Lighthouse began broadcasting on 7 September 1975 from Antigua, a 9-by-12-mile island at the centre of the Lesser Antilles. It went on air under Baptist International Missions, and fifty years on it still does what the name promises - guiding, as its founders put it, like a lighthouse for the islands.

The station is heard on 1160 AM and 92.3 FM across the Eastern Caribbean, carrying Bible teaching, gospel music and encouragement in English to islands that, as the mission says, no other evangelical station reaches. Missionaries Curt Waite and Jerry Baker, whose families served in Antigua for over thirty years, became the voices synonymous with the Lighthouse.

The studio moved from its original Jolly Hill site to Valley Church in 2017, and the signal now travels far beyond AM and FM: radiolighthouse.org streams it live, and the mobile apps carry it anywhere. Half a century after sign-on, the light is still on.
