In 1999, Aeronautical Telecommunications Limited (AEROTEL) was granted a license to broadcast flight information which was conducted from its office in Montego Bay. Under the terms of the license, Kool 97 FM focuses on music, with special features depicting aspects of Jamaica’s culture. For the convenience of travellers, flight schedules are broadcast at the top of the hour. The station also broad

cast news, sports, weather as well as relevant information pertaining to activities taking place at Jamaica’s International Airports. Kool 97 FM has carved out a niche market in the Jamaican media landscape since hitting the airwaves in November 2001. We programme adult contemporary music, 45% of which is Reggae music. Our target audience consists primarily of persons who are 25 years and over. This group has diverse lifestyle preferences but finds consensus on one issue - Music that is melodic and familiar, the kind they grew up with and the kind that is missing across the stretch of Jamaican bandwidth. With the recent addition of newscasts, Kool 97 FM has created a balance. Listeners are now served the best of music and news content. In addition, the station is continuing to develop music programmes and special features which cover a wide range of subject matters to appeal to advertisers and listeners. In keeping with the mandate of our Broadcast License, Kool 97FM continues to highlight activities in all sectors, including tourism, entertainment, government, business and aviation. Join the Kool Team as we venture into the mountains, participate in cultural activities, explore our island and uplift each other with positive motivational messages.

Continuing with the celebration of Senior Citizens Month, the team at Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Jamaica produced this wonderful video.

The Senior’s Voice: Guidance for the Next Generation

"My mother used to tell me, ‘Show me your company and I’ll tell you who you are.’" – Mary Clarke

Growing up, Mary held this lesson close, as her mother instilled it in her. Because of this, she has always been careful and discerning about the company she keeps. Her advice to this generation: be intentional with the people around you, because who you surround yourself with is a reflection of who you are — whether good or bad.

The safety of our children must come first. Too often, we see motorists ignoring school bus signals, putting young lives at risk.

We are urging all motorists:

☑️ STOP when a school bus has its stop sign deployed or flashing lights on, no matter the direction you are coming from.

☑️ Proceed with caution only after the stop sign is retracted and the lights are off.

Let us all play our part to ensure every child gets to and from school safely.
