On April 2nd, 1935, the first subscriber was connected to Cable Radio in Barbados. It is here that the STARCOM Story stared with a radio service called Radio Distribution operating from a building in Wildey. It was the start of the broadcasting era in Barbados and a tradition of excellence. Early in 1951 the company was taken over by Rediffusion Services Ltd., a subsidiary of Overseas Rediffusion Ltd. of London. From a small studio at Trafalgar Street in 1947, the company relocated to the present River Road headquarters in 1958. Rediffusion’s innovation enabled it to blaze countless trails in the broadcast media, from radio relays in the early days to the full fledged dynamic broadcasting services of today.
