Dervan Malcolm’s career as a Broadcast Journalist was spurred by his outstanding achievements in the Performing Arts. It was one of his performances in the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission’s Festival of the Performing Arts that propelled him onto the media landscape on October 24, 1993, while he was still a student and Headboy at Calabar High School.
Almost 24 years later Dervan Malcolm is still employed to Independent Radio Company, operator of talk-oriented radio station, Power 106 FM and adult contemporary music station Music 99 FM. Of note is the fact that until recently, Independent Radio Company was a member of the Gleaner Group. Today, like the Gleaner Power 106 FM and Music 99 FM are now members of the RJRGleaner Communications Group, which makes the offerings of Independent Radio Company Limited all the more dynamic.
