Description
RiddimRadio.com is an online reggae and Caribbean-culture station whose strapline is "The Pulse of Reggae & Caribbean Culture". Its own programmes page says "Mission Viejo, CA - Riddimradio.com Powered by CvsRadio1 Media Group is the riddim radio pioneering force in online reggae broadcasting", and describes itself as "Founded by visionary broadcaster Jones-I". Its logo carries the line "CvsRadio1 is now RIDDIMRADIO.COM", so the station is a rebrand of an earlier CvsRadio1. It publishes a daily stream with themed programme blocks, a podcast slate that mixes its own shows with syndicated reggae shows from other producers, and news, video, artist and event sections. Its footer reads "(c) 2026 RiddimRadio.com | Terms & Conditions - Powered by yesstreaming.com".

Contact route
yes, but only in body text, not on a contact page. The station publishes a general email address and a telephone number labelled as WhatsApp inside the description of its own "Daily Stream" programme, a second "Radio Hosting Email" on the same page, and a merchandise store link. It has a Substack. Its navigation, Home, News, Programs, Events, Podcasts, Artists, Videos and Songs, contains no Contact item, and its Terms & Conditions page names no company, address or jurisdiction. So a listener can reach someone, but only by reading through a programme blurb to find the address.

Contact page
none on the station's own domain. There is no contact page; the routes above sit inside https://riddimradio.com/programs and there is no dedicated page to point at.

not a decade format. Its range runs from roots reggae through to modern independent releases, and its news section is built around current singles.

Kind
mixed. A continuous automated stream branded "Daily Stream" fills the clock from 06:00am to 05:59am, with named blocks laid over it, and several of the podcast entries are shows made by other producers and carried here rather than originated by the station. The station also distributes itself through apps rather than a published stream address: it says it is "Online 24 hrs on ROKU, Amazon Fire Stick Tv apps, Alexa, APPLE WATCH and CvsRadio1's Google streaming channels".

Worth knowing
the station's own programmes page doubles as an investor and partnership pitch, inviting "collaborators, investors, and event partners to join the mission", quoting artists Trevor Martin (AKA Trevor English) and Jangahla Roots in support, and asking for donations, all inside the text that describes its daily stream.

Where
Mission Viejo, California, United States. This is stated on the station's own programmes page, and its show descriptions repeat it: one show is "streaming straight out of Southern California" and another is "Broadcast from Southern California and powered by CvsRadio1 Media Group". Internet only, no frequency. Belize is not mentioned anywhere on the site.

On air
Jones-I, named as the station's founder and as host of the "SunRise Show", "FRIDAY NIGHT FIYAH!" and, with Scorpion Omari, "Morning Drive". Ryan Verneuille hosts "The Ryan Show FM". In the podcast section the station credits Jay of Streetlevel Uprising ("Talkin' Reggae Podcast"), Adrian ("Talking About Reggae") and Cody Edwards ("Talkin' Reggae"), and mentions DJ Diehard operating from Kansas City. Most of the daily programme blocks name no host at all.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| country code | BZ → US | Belize does not appear anywhere on the station's own site, and the station places itself in California in its own words. Its Programs page at https://riddimradio.com/programs opens the description of its own "Daily Stream - Inside Riddim Radio" with "Mission Viejo, CA - Riddimradio.com Powered by CvsRadio1 Media Group is the riddim radio pioneering force in online reggae broadcasting". Two further show descriptions on that same page say the station is "streaming straight out of Southern California" and "Broadcast from Southern California and powered by CvsRadio1 Media Group", and two more place their hosts in Southern California. The contact telephone number it publishes on that page is in a Los Angeles area code. The station's logo carries the line "CvsRadio1 is now RIDDIMRADIO.COM", so this is a rebrand of a US operation, not a Belizean broadcaster. It is an online station with no frequency; Mission Viejo, California is where it says it operates from. |
| language code |
en
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The language field is unset. The station's whole site is in English: the strapline "The Pulse of Reggae & Caribbean Culture", every programme title and description on https://riddimradio.com/programs, its news, artists and podcast sections, and its Terms & Conditions page. Its hosts, Jones-I, Scorpion Omari and Ryan Verneuille among them, present in English from Southern California, and its speech shows are described as culture, comedy and conversation programmes rather than music-only mounts. The music it plays is reggae, dancehall, lovers rock and soca, which is English and Jamaican Patois repertoire, but the station's own presentation language is English throughout. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| Belize, and any Belizean connection | the station's own site never mentions it. Its own pages place it in Mission Viejo, California and describe two of its shows as broadcast from Southern California. The catalogue's BZ filing is not supported by anything the station publishes.
source |
| an ads.txt file and a Google site-verification token that have been pasted into a content field and now render as the first visible text on every page of the site, prefixed with a local Windows desktop file path | I have not reproduced the values. Recorded because it is evidence about how the site is run, and because a verifier seeing that string at the top of a page dump should know it is the operator's own paste, not a fault in the capture.
source |
| the station's email addresses and WhatsApp number | the brief forbids copying them into this file. Their existence and their location on the site are recorded above.
source |
| the Online Radio Box and Yelp entries the station itself points listeners to from its programmes page | directories, excluded as sources here. I did not open them and took nothing from them.
source |
| treating the syndicated podcast shows as the station's own output | "The Ryan Show FM", "Talkin' Reggae Podcast", "Talking About Reggae" and "Talkin' Reggae" are credited to outside hosts and producers. I have listed them and said they are carried, not originated.
source |
| the "Sundday" heading on the programmes grid | a typo in the station's own day tabs. Not corrected in the day names above, and not treated as a separate day.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
