LTT Broadcasting has been granted a radio station licence by Minister of Telecommunications, Michael Scott.

Mr. Scott announced on Friday that LTT Broadcasting Company Limited was granted and issued a Class One Broadcasting (Radio Station) Licence to erect, operate and maintain a radio station.

The new station's call sign will be "BJAZ". Its licence came into effect on June 9. In April 2004, LTT president Terrence Leo Trott said he would set up a jazz station, targeting over-35 listeners.

Also on Friday, the Ministry of Works & Engineering & Housing applied to build a recycling plant at the Government Quarry in Bailey's Bay.

Notice was given to build a plant for the separation and processing of metal and glass containers. The public has 14 days to object to this application to the Department of Environmental Protection. The Bailey's Bay project was expected to be completed by May 2006.
