Information on Jamaica -- Where do I find it?

Information on Jamaica and current news is readily available if you know where to look!

The Jamaica Gleaner , the leading Jamaican newspaper, the Jamaican Gleaner is now available online. Read the leading local news stories, sports updates and commentary. In addition you can check the daily weather report (in several different areas), the 7-day weather outlook and Jamaica hurricane report.

In addition to the Jamaican Gleaner, the most popular Jamaican newspaper (now available online)you can now tune into Radio Jamaica and TVJ (Television Jamaica). Watch live broadcasts of radio and TV. A fascinating look into every day Jamaica. Local talk shows, daily news and even local television shows. My favorite show is Rising Stars (the Jamaican style of American Idol). All that is required is a small fee $12.95 a month or take advantage of reduced rates for a 3 month commitment. The one month or 3 month pacakges bundle a total of 3 local radio stations (including the hotest reggae hits) and TVJ for television viewing.
