==Radio== *[[Radio]] broadcast stations: [[Amplitude modulation|AM]] 0, [[Frequency modulation|FM]] 7, shortwave 1 (2021) There are three main broadcasting companies in Bermuda: LTT Broadcasting Co. Ltd. (Irie), The [[Bermuda Broadcasting Company]] Ltd. (ZFB/ZBM) (not to be confused with the [[BBC|British Broadcasting Corporation]]), and Inter-Island Communications Ltd. (Hott/Magic). The BBC owns four with the call signs of 2 with ZFB and two with the call signs ZBM. One of BBC's popular stations include Power 95 (94.9). It plays mostly hip hop, R&B, and reggae. It has been popular over the years, until competition from Hott 107.5 began. The recent change of LTT Broadcasting's Jazz format and frequency from 98.1 to 98.3 in November 2010 to Roots and Classic Reggae (www.irie.bm) has shifted audience from Power 94.9 and Hott 107.5 to place overall second in the market in the broad 18-54 demographic based on research from Research Innovations Ltd in February 2011. In April 2004 2 FM licenses were assigned to each Inter-Island Communications and LTT Broadcasting Co. Ltd. Inter-Island Communications operates Hott 107.5 FM, which plays a mixture of R&B, hip hop, reggae and some gospel. Overnight Hott 107.5 FM became the number one radio station in Bermuda. The Programme Director and part owner for the station was Elroy RC Smith, formerly of [[WGCI-FM]] of [[Chicago, Illinois]], who is widely respected as one of the top PD in America. He has since departed from the station. Inter-Island Communications Ltd. launched its Adult Contemporary station, Magic 102.7 FM in February 2007. Reggae star Collie Buddz (real name: Collin Harper) & his brother Matthew Harper started "Vibe 103" on March 30, 2012, under the corporate name of Harper Digital. The [[Government of Bermuda]]'s [[Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre|Maritime Operations Centre]] has also set up a shortwave radio station in 2007 (call-sign: ZBR), [http://www.marops.bm] The [[Government of Bermuda]] also operates a radio station at 100.1 FM to broadcast emergency information, such as hurricane watches and warnings.
