The history of WAVS 1170 AM is as glorious as its future.
A group of visionaries came together in January 1987 to broadcast the first 24 hours of Caribbean programming for South Florida to enjoy. However, instead of just South Florida, the world took notice and WAVS 1170 AM has never looked back. WAVS 1170 AM continues to ride the wave of growing popularity shared by Reggae music, Soca music and overall Caribbean culture. In 1987, WAVS 1170 AM adopted a Caribbean format directed to the large West Indian population of South Florida, which up to that time, did not have a major media serving the Caribbean-American community.

WAVS 1170 radio is a 24 hour terrestrial radio station which broadcasts at 5,000 watts non-directional. WAVS 1170 AM is licensed to Davie, Florida and serves the South Florida area including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and the Bahamas.

Welcome to the first and original 24 hour Caribbean-programmed radio station in the United States. Since 1987, the heartbeat of the Caribbean-American community in the United States has been South Florida’s very own WAVS 1170 AM.

Today, WAVS 1170 AM radio makes history again by becoming the first 100% Caribbean-owned radio station with Caribbean programming on the dial. The Alliance Broadcasting Network has added this Caribbean gem to their growing stable of radio stations led by their vision to become the first Caribbean-American conglomerate to own and operate radio stations for and by the Caribbean-American people here in the United States.

The Alliance Broadcasting Network wishes you a pleasant listening experience whether broadcasting on the airwaves or streaming on the internet. Please kick back and listen to the great Caribbean sounds of music and talk of the Caribbean-American community as you enjoy WAVS 1170 AM. The Alliance Broadcasting Network thanks you for enjoying the best Caribbean talk and entertainment on the dial and the internet.
