Hurricane Irene Gains Strength, Hits Bahamas
Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at 6:56AM Hurricane Irene regained strength Wednesday morning as it bore down on the Bahamas and was expected to grow even fiercer as the day continued, forecasters said.
After being temporarily downgraded to a 90-mph, Category 1 hurricane late Tuesday, Irene’s top winds were near 110 mph by Wednesday morning, making it a Category 2 storm.
“Irene continues to strengthen as it pounds the southeastern Bahamas,” the National Hurricane Center said in a public advisory released at 5 a.m. Wednesday. “Irene will likely become a major hurricane later today.”
The storm’s core was expected to move across the southeastern and central Bahamas Wednesday, reaching the northwestern part of the island chain by Thursday.
For Bahamians, the prospects of 125 mph winds and 10 inches of rain weren’t the only worries. The surrounding sea, swept inland by a storm surge that could hit 11 feet, might be the deadliest potential threat.
It is still not known where or when Irene will hit on the U.S. mainland.

ESPN Radio Adds a Station in the Bahamas
Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 5:07PM 
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.”
