EDYOU FM has emerged as Guyana’s premier radio station, boasting the largest network in the Caribbean and redefining how education is delivered across the nation.
As a 24-hour broadcast platform, it reaches all regions, ensuring accessibility even in the most remote areas.
Moving beyond the traditional model of recorded lessons aired at designated times, EDYOU FM now operates continuously, creating a dynamic educational experience.
Head of the station, Phillip Williams, highlights its dual approach of blending analog and digital formats.
This innovative step includes the integration of the EDPAL app, pushing education into the digital age.
“So with the digital platform, we can reach audiences on both analog radio and digital devices, ensuring no one is left behind,” Williams explained.
In addition to its role in education, EDYOU FM is cultivating a new generation of professionals ready to excel in broadcasting and the digital industry.
Training opportunities are being provided, equipping young talents with the skills needed for modern media environments.
The government’s investment of $300 million in 2020 to expand the Guyana Learning Channel and establish EDYOU FM underscores its commitment to educational transformation.
Today, the station stands as a model for how radio can inspire and educate citizens, regardless of geography.
