ESPN is living up to it's nickname as "The Worldwide Leader".

In its first affiliate deal in the Caribbean, ESPN Radio signed Navetter Broadcasting Company’s “SportsRadio103” ZSR-FM in the Bahamian capital of Nassau on the Bahamas most populous island of New Providence. The Bahamas’ rabid American sports fan base will now have access to daily special features and overnight programs, as well as “SportsCenter” and other weekend shows.

ESPN Caribbean and Maritime Media VP Bernard Stewart says, “This is another step in ESPN’s goal to deliver to sports fans in the Caribbean top quality sports entertainment wherever they are.”

Navetter Broadcasting GM Vann Ferguson adds, “Bahamians are as fanatical about the NBA, NFL and NCAA as Americans and enthusiastically follow sports on TV. Our carrying ESPN programming on radio is an added treat for fans to stay informed and hear games when they are unable to catch them on TV.”
