The first radio station of Île-à-Vache "Radio Wva Kominotè llavach" (RVKI 104.7) has been dysfunctional since the passage of Hurricane Matthew, which destroyed its 2.5 Kw generator and a dozen solar panels, preventing the station from transmitting for lack of energy.

Despite repeated calls to several institutions to obtain assistance and replace the destroyed equipment and to restore the station to resume service and serve the population of the island again, no positive response has so far come hope for a resumption of service. As a reminder, this community radio station does not broadcast any commercial advertising, the staff of which is voluntary, operated solely by voluntary contributions from the community.
