Dolfijn FM 97.3 FM

📖 About

Dolfijn FM 97.3 FM is a premier commercial radio station broadcasting from Willemstad, Curaçao, with a strong presence across the Dutch Caribbean. Established in November 2002, the station has evolved into one of the most popular Dutch-language radio networks in the region. Its unique open-air studio, situated right on the beach at Seaquarium Beach (Mambo Beach Boulevard) just meters from the sea, deeply connects the station with the vibrant local beach and entertainment culture of the island. The station's programming format is built around a dynamic mix of current hits, Top 40 tracks, pop, Latin, Reggaeton, and Caribbean music, coupled with frequent updates on local island news, global current affairs, and news from the Netherlands. Dolfijn FM features notable programs such as the Bright Top 40, engaging morning and afternoon drive shows, and specialty weekend sessions including dance music mixes from world-renowned guest DJs. It caters broadly to tourists, expatriates, and local residents alike, acting as a prominent cultural and audio bridge between Curaçao, Bonaire, and the Netherlands. Throughout its history, Dolfijn FM has navigated structural milestones, including ownership transitions following the passing of co-founder Rinus Dekker and a successful restructuring and relaunch in 2013 under a group of local investors. In addition to its terrestrial broadcasts on 97.3 FM in Curaçao and 97.5 FM in Bonaire, the station has expanded aggressively into digital platforms, offering specialized online sub-channels like Dolfijn Latin, Dolfijn Urban, and Dolfijn Hits, alongside apps and global streaming integrations.
