Description
Soggy Dollar Radio is the music feed of the Soggy Dollar Bar, and it has its own site and its own domain, separate from the bar's. It describes itself as "Streaming LIVE from the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands" and "Streaming LIVE in over 45 countries from the #1 Beach Bar in the Caribbean". The bar's own radio page is blunter about what it is: "listen to the same music playing at the bar". So this is a branded continuous music stream of a bar's in-house playlist rather than a station with a schedule, though it does carry at least one named on-air feature and a persona behind it. Its footer reads "© 2016 a Shady Guy Broadcasting Company".

Artists
only Kenny Chesney, and only because the site's own poll asks "What's your favorite Kenny Chesney song?". There is no playlist page, no recently played list, and no now-playing panel on either the radio site or the bar's radio page.

Contact route
Thin but not absent. The radio's own site has no contact page, no email address and no telephone number; what it offers is an email sign up ("Radio Sign Up") and its own Instagram account, which it links itself. The parent bar's site, on its own separate domain, carries reservations and a full navigation including a Community page, which is the route to a person. I looked for a contact page on soggydollarradio.com and there is none: the site has only five pages in total.

Era
Not established. The site never states one, and the single Kenny Chesney reference is too thin to build a decade on.

|
Music
Beach bar music. The site publishes no format label; the one artist it names is Kenny Chesney, in a listener vote, which points at contemporary country and beach music.

Kind
A continuous live relay of the music playing in the bar, in the operator's own description, with a midweek feature and listener voting layered on top. Not voicetracked, not a relay of another broadcaster.

Worth knowing
The radio has a real editorial life of its own despite being a bar's playlist, running its own listener poll and its own midweek feature, and its front page sells a Soggy Dollar Radio t-shirt through the bar's separate shop domain.

Where
White Bay, Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands, which is where the bar and hotel are. Online only; no frequency, and none claimed.

On air
none named by name. A persona called "Shady" is present throughout: the programme is "SHADY'S HUMP DAY FOURPLAY", the copyright line is "a Shady Guy Broadcasting Company", and the bar's own site carries a "SHADY TIMES" page with a "WATCH NEWSCAST" link. Nobody's actual name appears. I looked on the radio site's only content page, its survey page, and the bar's radio and Shady Times pages.

Programmes
one, "SHADY'S HUMP DAY FOURPLAY", promoted on the radio site's front page with a listener vote attached. "Hump day" places it midweek but no airtime is published. No other show and no schedule exists on the site.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| homepage url | https://www.soggydollar.com/ → https://www.soggydollarradio.com/ | The stored address, soggydollar.com, is the website of the Soggy Dollar Bar and Sandcastle Hotel at White Bay, Jost Van Dyke: its own title is 'World Famous Beach Bar Resort | Soggy Dollar & Sandcastle Hotel | British Virgin Islands' and its navigation is a bar and hotel's, covering Drinks, Eats, Hotel, Painkiller History and so on. The radio is one item in that navigation, and the bar's own radio page at soggydollar.com/radio sends listeners onward with a 'LISTEN NOW' link to https://www.soggydollarradio.com/. That is the radio's own site on its own domain: its title is 'Soggy Dollar Radio', it describes itself as 'Streaming LIVE from the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands', and it carries the radio's own feature, SHADY'S HUMP DAY FOURPLAY, its own listener poll and its own Instagram account. It resolves directly and does not redirect off its own domain. The bar's site remains the right place to read about the bar, and it is where the quoted description of what the radio actually is came from, but it is not the radio's homepage. |
| language code |
en
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
English. Every word on the radio's own site at soggydollarradio.com is English, including its self-description 'Streaming LIVE in over 45 countries from the #1 Beach Bar in the Caribbean', its feature title SHADY'S HUMP DAY FOURPLAY, its poll question 'What's your favorite Kenny Chesney song?' and its footer '© 2016 a Shady Guy Broadcasting Company'. The bar's own radio page at soggydollar.com/radio is likewise English throughout, and the British Virgin Islands is an English-speaking territory. |
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 |
|---|---|
| The bar's own detail, its Painkiller history, drinks, hotel, webcam, ring game and hurricane pages | Rich as they are, they describe a beach bar and hotel, not the radio. The row is the radio, and the radio's own site is the narrower thing.
source |
| The claim of an audience in over 45 countries as a fact | It is the operator's own marketing line and I have recorded it as that, attributed, rather than as a measured reach.
source |
| The stored homepage as the radio's homepage | soggydollar.com is the Soggy Dollar Bar and Sandcastle Hotel's site. It is the right operator and a legitimate source, and its radio page is quoted above, but the radio has its own domain and that is what a homepage field should hold.
source |
| A launch year read off the copyright line | The footer says 2016, which is ten years before the date of reading and may simply be a copyright line nobody has updated, so I have not turned it into a founding date.

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
current as at 2026.
