ZNS-3 (branded as The Light[1] or the Northern Service[2]) is the third-oldest radio station in the Bahamas, having begun broadcasting in 1973. It is under ownership of the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas. ZNS-3 broadcasts at 810 kHz on the AM band using a 10 kW transmitter and also broadcasts at 104.5 MHz on the FM band using a 10 kW transmitter.[3]
The Bahamas' ITU prefix is officially C6-, though it still uses its older ZN- prefix for most of its AM/FM radio and television stations from when it was a colony of the United Kingdom, though has listed ZNS-3's call sign as C6B-3 in the past, similar to its other non-broadcast signals.[citation needed]
