Fresh from celebrating its eighth anniversary on the air, ISLAND 102.9 FM has big plans for its ninth year,
beginning with an exciting new concept for the “Morning Boil”.
Long the place for listeners to hear the news of the day, as well as
crisp, irreverent banter, the Morning Boil, twice voted the number one morning
show by listeners, is now going to the next level, interweaving news and
newsmakers with commentary from listeners and hosts, and talking about the
stories of the day before the usual noise in radio talk starts.
Beginning at 7 AM, ISLAND FM will have the first complete and
extensive news in the market, followed by the 8 AM headlines that will be
accompanied by in depth interviews and commentary to bring out the stories
behind the stories so that ISLAND’s listeners can
become the best informed about what’s REALLY happening in the nation.
Bringing this new format into homes, offices and cars all over the
island every morning will be a newly formed dynamic duo, comprised of one of
the most recognizable voices in the marketplace plus a brand new talent on the
scene.
The former is Eddie Carter whose irreverent take on almost
everything that is happening in The Bahamas and the world, past and present,
has enlivened the Morning Boil for eight years, keeping everyone on their toes
as they wait for the next outrageous comment. His new co-host is Bahamian journalist Danielle Stubbs who began her
career in journalism just months out of high school when she joined the
Tribune, working her way up the ranks to become staff reporter, then court
reporter, as well as the person at the helm of the popular “Why You Vex?”
column.
But Danielle did not stop there. While pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Media Arts with a concentration
in Radio, Television and Film at Clark
Atlanta University,
she worked at the University’s television station, in front of the camera and
behind the scenes. She was accepted for
the coveted news internship at Atlanta’s leading
local news station, WSB-TV, following that with a summer long stint with CNN’s
Larry King Live at the global headquarters in Atlanta
and as a one of eight students chosen from across the United States to participate in the prestigious
Meredith-Cronkite Fellowship Program at KPHO in Phoenix, Arizona.
Danielle, who will be anchoring the morning news components of the
Boil, as well as hosting with Eddie, brings a fresh, young outlook to life and
times in The Bahamas. Combining that
with Eddie’s unique perspective on life, this new duo will be certain to not
only inform and entertain ISLAND FM’s listeners in the glorious Boil tradition
but bring a new and different point of view that will not only please Boil fans
but attract even more every morning.
