We publish Bahamian news, culture and folklore for readers across Nassau, the Exumas and the Family Islands, with audio briefings running around the clock. If you want to reach people who actually live here, this is where they already are.
Why advertise here
Four things you will not get from a boosted post.
You own the moment
- Limited placements, so your ad is not stacked between six others.
- Category exclusivity available on the larger packages.
Audio nobody else has
- Briefings every twenty-five minutes and roundups every four hours.
- A read in a trusted voice outperforms a banner, every time.
Clean and fast
- Every creative is hosted by us. No networks, no pop-ups, no trackers.
- Your brand will never appear beside anything you would be embarrassed by.
A real person
- WhatsApp us and you reach the people who make the show.
- Creative changes are free and usually same-day.

What we will not run
Our advertising standards are the reason serious brands can sit beside our journalism.
- No adult or sexual content, of any kind, at any price. This is absolute.
- No third-party ad networks, pop-ups, pop-unders, auto-playing audio or redirect scripts.
- No predatory lending, fake health cures, crypto schemes or counterfeit goods.
- No advertising aimed at children, and no gambling creative targeted at minors.
- Political advertising is accepted only with the sponsor clearly named in the creative.
- Sponsored content is always labelled as sponsored. We will not disguise an advertisement as a news story.
- Advertisers do not get to see, approve or kill editorial coverage. Buying an ad buys an ad.
