Compass Media radio will be live in the Sister Islands
Some very big news for our Sister Islands. You can now listen to Z99, Gold FM, Island FM, and Rooster 101 in the Brac and Little Cayman.
This is the first time Compass Media radio will be live in the Sister Islands — and will be broadcasting on the stations you know and love starting tomorrow.

Jordan Crooks is already a national hero — he deserves this break
If this is it for Jordan Crooks in the world of elite swimming (and it’s way too early to tell if it truly will be), then what a career it has been.
Olympic finalist. Two-time world champion. World record holder and vanquisher of a sporting barrier few believed would ever be broken. Far too many collegiate accolades to list here. This young Cayman Islands native is one of the fastest swimmers the planet has ever seen.
If we never see him step behind the starting blocks again, none of those achievements can be taken away from him. Nor can the lasting legacy he has created both at home and further afield.
In Crooks, the next generation of swimmers here and across the world have an idol who is as upstanding and well-rounded a man off the metaphorical field of play as he is a fierce and formidable competitor on it.
