RockYard is the creator platform built by Little Rock — the Berbice media house behind 88.5 Rock FM, LRTVS Channel 10 and Little Rock Studio. On the platform, Guyanese people at home and abroad post reels, go live, stream games, put up video and pictures, and earn from every view, on pages they design themselves. The name is not decoration: the Rock is the radio station and the man it came from, and the yard is the open ground of Guyanese life where everything really happens.
The Yard Post is where we write things down. The story of why this platform exists. Practical guides written for real conditions — phone cameras, thin signal, data that costs money — rather than for creators in cities we've never lived in. The money pages, in plain language, because a creator platform that mumbles about money is hiding something. And the culture itself: the words, the food, the dominoes, the kiskadee on the wire. Start anywhere; every piece stands on its own.
Why we built RockYard
A hotel in the 1980s, a television station, a twenty-year wait for a radio licence — and the yard where a man taught his daughter dominoes.
