History
One of the oldest radio services in the Eastern Caribbean,[1] RCI was established in 1961 and was one of the country's two stations (along with Radio St. Lucia) during its early years.[2] It was a former division of French-based Template:Ill[3] and a part of Radio Caraïbes International in Martinique/Guadeloupe.[4] By November 1998, SOFIRAD proposed to sell the station to its staff; in February 1999, ownership was transferred to its longest-serving personnel, Peter Effraime and Pet Gibson. Eventually, eleven other employees filed a lawsuit against Effraime and Gibson for "breach of trust and misrepresentation".[3] RCI was faced with closure and a possible sale in June 2004 (after several years of losses),[1] but has remained on air as of 2022.[5]
Programming
Aside from programs in English, RCI also broadcast French-language content from its launch[2] until 1995.Template:Sfn Creole-language programming was introduced in 1974[2] with the one-hour evening show Radio-a Sa-Sé Nou (It's Our Radio).Template:Sfn
Coverage
In addition to its native St. Lucia, RCI serves listeners in Martinique and Dominica.[1]
