The Zephyr Nassau Sunshine (ZNS) began as a small radio station with a powerful purpose: to inform, educate, and entertain the people of The Bahamas.
Originally launched to disseminate government information and connect the far-flung islands of the archipelago, ZNS quickly grew into a national institution and the country’s leading public broadcaster.
Over the decades, ZNS expanded its reach and capabilities, adding FM radio services
and moving into television broadcasting with the debut of ZNS-TV13 in 1977. This
historic moment brought Bahamian stories, news, and culture to screens nationwide,
further solidifying ZNS’s role in shaping the national identity.
As The Bahamas evolved, so did ZNS. The network played a pivotal role in
documenting the country’s political journey, cultural heritage, national celebrations, and
moments of crisis. Whether covering elections, Junkanoo, or daily news, ZNS has
remained a trusted voice in every Bahamian home.
ZNS continues to serve as a reliable and far-reaching source of information and inspiration.
Today, the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas (BCB), which operates the
ZNS radio and television network, continues to serve the nation with a commitment to
excellence in public service broadcasting. As we embrace the future, ZNS is stepping
boldly into new spaces—expanding our presence in the digital landscape, reaching
audiences in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and connecting with Bahamians and
Caribbean communities around the world.
