Tourists love Island Radio 88.6, and many enjoy listening to it online once they return home from their holiday, but it’s locals who value it the most. Not only does the radio station play music, local information is passed on to residents via the radio station, and many interviews are conducted by hosts about important issues affecting the island.
 
Bobby Gee regularly hosts many guests on his breakfast show, which is sponsored by Plessas market. The guests have included staff from the British Consulate in Zakynthos to talk about the types of services that the British Consulate offers to both tourists and expats. Bobby has also  interviewed several British Ambassadors to Greece, on a number of topics relating to the island and tourism.

Bobby has also interviewed numerous special guests, about a variety of topics relevant to both locals and visitors, and our very own Louise Inzk, from the Zakynthos Informer, has joined the radio on a number of occasions to talk about island history, tradition and culture, as well as sharing important festival information, and Greek Traditions. 

Island Radio 88.6 is vital to the island of Zakynthos, it’s great place for island business to advertise, residents get to hear the latest news and information, and tourists have a link to the island they love no matter where they are in the world. The station is stronger and more popular than ever, and as of this week it has increased its signal strength to match its sister radio station Stigma. As Island Radio 88.6 continues to grow in popularity, it hopes to be able to bring more great music, information and interviews to the island it is proud to call home.
