History
[edit]DBS launched in 1985[1] and was founded by the Daher couple of Syrian origin.[2] Like what happens with its competing channel HTS, DBS broadcasts entirely in English, with no airtime given for Kwéyòl, except for occasional use.[3] On 17 December 2002, it obtained a new broadcasting license.[4]
During the 2010s, one of its main personalities was Alex Bousquets, nicknamed Mr. Streetvibes. He died on 10 October 2021.[5] Lissa Joseph worked at DBS since 2011, on radio and later on television. She died on 6 January 2026, aged 43.[6]
