"Cow neva know de use ah him tail till it get cut off" states the Jamaican proverb, which translates into "one never realizes the value of something until they lose it." This proverb proved true a few weeks ago, when many who religiously listened to WTPS 1080 am, every Saturday was faced with new programming, stemming from the sale of the station.

For over 25 years, WVCG 1080 AM was the dependable home of Caribbean radio programs. Initiated by Arnold "Trinidad" Henry - who was sales manager back in 1982 - the 50,000 watt station soon carved a niche out for itself in presenting quality programs with an appeal to the diverse Caribbean community, especially those living south in South Miami-Dade County.

Despite several changes in ownership, Caribbean Saturdays prevailed, beating the odds and solidifying its position as a strong source of information and entertainment for Caribbean peoples in South Florida.
