106.1 Kiss FM (106.1 FM) is an adult contemporary music formatted radio station in the Cayman Islands. The station is owned by dms Broadcasting, an affiliate of dms Organization.[1]
The station maintains studio operations in George Town, Grand Cayman. The broadcast is also simultaneously streamed live on the internet via the station's website.
The station belongs to a parent company, dms Broadcasting, which was granted a license to broadcast on three stations in Grand Cayman by the ICTA on 15 July 2004.[2] On 12 January 2005, the Cayman Islands Government announced the station had negotiated a deal with dms Broadcasting to allow broadcasting of all three stations from a government owned tower, thus eliminating the need to erect a new tower.[3]
