History
Radio Montserrat was launched in 1952 by Frank Delisle. Initially it was a privately owned venture although it was nationalised in 1957.[1] Originally broadcast from Olveston the station moved to the capital Plymouth at the same time.
After the eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano in 1995 the station was forced to abandon its studios on Lovers Lane Plymouth and relocate to the safer northern part of the island.
