Description
A small online station from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It has no website of its own; the only place its operator speaks in his own words is his station page on the hosting platform Zeno.FM, where the description reads "Giving you a fulfilling, versatile vibe" and the page line reads "Bringing you versatile vibes straight from St Vincent and the Grenadines". The operator files it under the general format and offers nothing more by way of self-description.

Artists
None published. There is no playlist, song history or now-playing list on the station page, and the stream mount itself refuses an unauthenticated request, so I could not read a track off it.

Contact route
Two Facebook pages, an Instagram account and a PayPal donation handle. No contact page, no form, no email address, no studio telephone, no WhatsApp and no request line exists on any domain the operator controls, because he controls no domain. The two Facebook pages are a complication in themselves: the page our catalogue stores and the page the operator links from his own station listing carry different numeric identifiers while both present as SVG West Radio.

Music
Not stated beyond "versatile". The operator's only genre tag is the platform's general category.

Language
English. The operator tags the station English on his own station page and every word he has written about it is English.

Kind
Not established. There is no schedule, no now-playing feed and no operator statement about it, and the stream mount answered my request with HTTP 401, so whether it is live, voicetracked or automated cannot be settled from what the operator publishes.

Worth knowing
The operator's own station page links two things that matter more than the description: a personal Instagram account under the "Westie" name, and a PayPal donation handle under the same name. A station that asks listeners to pay its costs directly into a named personal handle is a one-person operation, and that is the clearest thing on the record about what this is.

Where
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The operator's own line says the output comes straight from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. No city and no frequency: this is an online-only stream with no broadcast frequency published anywhere.

|
On air
none by name. A single individual is plainly behind it, because the Instagram account and the donation handle the operator links from his own station page are both built on the name "Westie", but no personal name is published anywhere.

Programmes
none. No schedule and no named show exists on any surface the operator controls.

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.facebook.com/100076421744059/ → cleared | The stored value was a Facebook page, which is not a station's own site, and this operator has no site of his own to replace it with. The only surface where he writes in his own voice is his station page on the hosting platform Zeno.FM at https://zeno.fm/radio/svg-west-radio/, which carries his description "Giving you a fulfilling, versatile vibe" and the line "Bringing you versatile vibes straight from St Vincent and the Grenadines". The address that page lists as the station's "website" is https://svg-west-radio.mdn.live/, a page the platform generates from its own listing, so it is a platform mirror and not a homepage either. The only other links the operator publishes are a second Facebook page carrying a different numeric identifier from the stored one, an Instagram account and a PayPal donation handle, and none of those is a homepage. The field is therefore cleared rather than substituted. This is not an unreadable-domain case: there is no domain to read. |
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 *.mdn.live address the platform lists as this station's "website" | it is a page the hosting platform generates from its own listing, not a site the operator built or controls, and treating it as a homepage is exactly the platform-mirror trap. A correction clearing the stored field is filed instead.
source |
| the platform's sentence "Tune in to SVG West Radio and enjoy the best of English (UK) General radio. Stream live broadcasts, catch up on past episodes, and stay updated with the latest news and announcements" | that is the hosting platform's template text generated for every station on it, not the operator's words. The operator's own words are the two short lines quoted above and nothing else.
source |
| the "English (UK)" language tag on the platform page | that is a platform dropdown value, and a station in the Eastern Caribbean is not broadcasting British English. I have set the language from the operator's own writing, which is English, without carrying the regional qualifier across.
source |
| the stored Facebook page as a homepage | a social media page is not a station's own site, and a correction clearing the field is filed.

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.
