Caribbean Radio Call Signs

Besides the US territory and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Island. Do any of other Caribbean Nations have call letters for radio and TV? I know Bermuda uses VSB and ZBM and ZFB for their TV and Radio stations, how about other Caribbean Countries like Bahamas, Cayman Island, British Virgin Island, Turks and Charcoal, Aruba, Morresat, Jamaica, Bonafire, Barbados....etc.

In the past, some of those nations used calls. Since most were British Crown Colonies, they had call prefixes that came from the ITU assignments given to the British... mostly Zed prefixes.

The Dutch colonies, including Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao and St. Maartin, used PJ series calls.

Wikipedia has an article about international call letter prefixes.

Today, most broadcasting is on FM. And they use names, not calls almost exclusively... as is the norm in most of the world.
