GFM Galactica 99.9 FM

GFM Galactica 99.9 FM is one of the long-running stations of Oranjestad, Aruba, with decades of broadcasting history on the island. Its slogans - The Cosmic Sound, Sound Reinvented - fit a format that plays the best local and international music around the clock, with news and live shows between the songs. The studios stand on Makapruimstraat, in the heart of Oranjestad, a short walk from the cruise terminal that brings thousands of visitors ashore every week.

The broadcast mirrors the island itself: programs and talk move between Papiamentu, English, Dutch and Spanish, the four languages heard every day on Aruba, in the shops, on the beach and on the road. For locals, from the harbor workers to the hotel staff of Palm Beach, the 99.9 frequency is a familiar companion; for everyone else, the station streams live online, carrying the sound of the Dutch Caribbean to listeners anywhere in the world.
