Caribbean Culture

Maurice Lindsay’s Caribbean Culture radio program is a mainstay of WTCC’s line-up, bringing the life of the region to people all over Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Caribbean Culture Radio Program

The Caribbean Culture radio program debuted on WTCC-FM in June, 1980 with Maurice Lindsay, executive producer and host. He created the program because in 1980, there was no form of Caribbean music being played anywhere in this area.  This Caribbean program was the first of its kind and today it remains the most popular Caribbean program in the region. We play the classic roots and dancehall reggae, soca, ska, calypso, merengue, reggaeton, and African music.

Our format includes interviews, news and calendar events.

Caribbean Culture has won many awards and acclaim for its promotion of Caribbean music and culture. We can be heard live every Saturday evening from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and on the web at www.wtccfm.org

Over the years the Caribbean Culture program on WTCC has successfully participated in live simulcast links with other stations in Jamaica and Canada. These include Jamaica’s Hot 102 FM, Linkz 96 FM, Kool 97 FM Jamaica, and a three-way broadcast between Linz 96 FM in Jamaica, WTCC, and CHRY 105.5 FM in Toronto, Canada, sharing music and allowing listeners to phone in shared greetings between Jamaica, Canada, and the USA. We also do live remote broadcasts from many area reggae concerts and Caribbean Festival venues.

Over the years, Caribbean Culture has become a vital training ground for many DJs who have co-hosted the Caribbean Culture program and then eventually moved on to produce and host their own programs. Today, Maurice continues to lead a team of associates referred to as the Caribbean Culture crew. They include Lesley Melville a/k/a DJ Artman, Edward Mayers a/k/a DJ Ed Jones, Myrtho Lambert a/k/a DJ Mikey Don, DJ Tony T, and Lisa Ladis, a/k/a DJ Lisa-L.
