As the 2026 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) progresses across regional host venues, a local radio outlet in Antigua and Barbuda has emerged as a standout partner for its standout match coverage. Platinum FM, the primary radio division of the Pointe Broadcasting Network (PBN), has received widespread praise from tournament organizers for its comprehensive reporting of the competition’s Antigua-based fixtures.
Raul DeSouza, CPL’s Executive Producer of Radio Coverage, offered particularly high marks for the station’s on-location broadcast team. In his remarks, DeSouza noted that the quality and unwavering consistency of Platinum FM’s output during the Antigua leg of the tournament ranks among the strongest work delivered by any of the league’s territorial partner stations this season.
“What stood out most about Platinum FM’s coverage was the combination of infectious energy, sharp professionalism, and an authentic connection with local cricket fans,” DeSouza explained. “Their commentary team didn’t just call every play on the pitch — they captured the electric atmosphere and passionate energy of the crowd packed into Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. That immersive, community-focused style is exactly what regional cricket broadcasting should aspire to.”
DeSouza went on to highlight specific elements of Platinum FM’s coverage that elevated its work above other partners. The station’s detailed ball-by-ball commentary, in-depth pre-match build-up discussions and post-match breakdowns, and interactive segments that put listener voices front and center were all called out as key strengths. Beyond that, he emphasized that Platinum FM’s accessible broadcasts have played a critical role in expanding the tournament’s reach, bringing live CPL action to thousands of local listeners who are unable to attend matches at the stadium in person.
Leadership at PBN welcomed the recognition from CPL organizers, framing the honor as a direct reflection of the media network’s long-term commitment to growing its sports broadcasting capabilities. Luther Lee, Chairman of PBN’s Board of Management, and General Manager Eldean Eudelle both echoed that the accolade reinforces the value of the network’s investments in talent, technology, and local sports content.
With the 2026 CPL still underway and set to visit multiple other Caribbean nations through the end of the season, tournament officials have confirmed that Platinum FM will remain a key broadcast partner for the remainder of the competition. The station is expected to continue delivering its signature comprehensive coverage for CPL fans both in Antigua and Barbuda and across the wider global listener base.
