106.1 Kiss FM (106.1 FM) is an adult contemporary music formatted radio station in the Cayman Islands. The station is owned by dms Broadcasting, an affiliate of dms Organization.[1]

The station maintains studio operations in George Town, Grand Cayman. The broadcast is also simultaneously streamed live on the internet via the station's website.

History

[edit | edit source]

The station belongs to a parent company, dms Broadcasting, which was granted a license to broadcast on three stations in Grand Cayman by the ICTA on 15 July 2004.[2] On 12 January 2005, the Cayman Islands Government announced the station had negotiated a deal with dms Broadcasting to allow broadcasting of all three stations from a government owned tower, thus eliminating the need to erect a new tower.[3]

Hurricane Ivan reached Grand Cayman on 11 September, 16 years to the day from when the last hurricane struck the Islands. After debris was cleaned up and removed, work continued on the station.[4] The first official day of broadcasting was 11 April 2005 with the stations final names being Hot 104.1, 106.1 KISS-FM, and X107.1.
