Who we are

Compass Media Group is a diversified media company in multi-platform news and entertainment.

With assets in broadcast television, radio, streaming, newspapers, magazines and live events, Compass Media has a broad portfolio of brands and businesses that cater to the Cayman Islands, the wider Caribbean, and beyond.

Headquartered in Grand Cayman, our print and digital media house delivers up-to-the-minute news via Compass Media’s online platforms and social media channels.

As the only private local news channel, Compass TV – which launched in 2025 – connects, reflects and celebrates the community, highlighting locally relevant matters and perspectives.

The television station is complemented by our four radio stations Z99 99.9 FM, Rooster 101.9 FM, Island 98.9 FM, and Gold 94.9 FM, which together cater for all musical tastes – always with the Cayman Islands at heart.

Collectively, Compass TV and the radio stations are streamed to more than 50 countries around the world.

Compass Media is also home to the country’s flagship national newspaper, the Cayman Compass, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2025. The newspaper, which is printed weekly on Fridays and updated regularly each day on the website caymancompass.com, is one of the most comprehensive news resources in the Caribbean.

Additionally, Compass Media publishes magazines, newspaper supplements, and magazine-format special publications throughout the year. These include Cayman’s home and garden magazine InsideOut, our luxury travel destination magazine Welcome to Cayman, and the essential annual Emergency Guide, which is a vital resource for hurricane season and during the entire year.

Separate from the news division, Compass Media has a content studio providing services for individuals, companies and government organisations, including everything from booklets and reports to entire branded magazines.

Compass Media also hosts live events, and, on location at the company’s offices on Shedden Road in George Town, is The Compass Green – an expansive outdoor space, which can be rented for day and night functions.
