How to Listen to Haitian Radio Online

Published 23 September 2026

You can stream Haitian radio live in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM's Haiti page, choose a station and press play. Radio is the most important medium in Haiti — the way most people get their news — and it broadcasts in Haitian Creole and French, with konpa, gospel and fierce political talk in between.

Stations with a long history

• Radio Caraïbes — founded in 1949 by the Brown family, one of the country's oldest and best-known stations, with news, talk and music from Port-au-Prince.
• Radio 4VEH — the Evangelical Voice of Haiti, broadcasting from Cap-Haïtien since 1950.
• Radio Lumière — founded in the south in 1958–59 by a Baptist mission, and one of Haiti's big Christian networks.

News and talk

Haitian radio has a strong tradition of news and political argument, much of it in Creole. Radio Kiskeya, Radio Vision 2000, Caraïbes FM and Radio Télé Éclair are among the news and talk stations in the directory, and RFI carries French international news from Port-au-Prince.

Music stations

• Konpa Mix Radio, Men Konpa and Konpa Mizik — konpa around the clock.
• Radio Haiti Tropical — hits and top 40.
• Intermix 93.1 and Radio Boursiquot from Jacmel — music, news and sport.
• Radio Humilité and Radio Lumière — gospel.

Creole and French

Haitian Creole is spoken by everyone in Haiti; French is the other official language. Most talk radio, phone-ins and news are in Creole, while some news and formal programmes use French. For anyone learning Creole, a news station is the quickest way to hear it spoken at everyday speed.

The sounds that come from here

Konpa. Haiti's great popular music, danced across the Caribbean and its diaspora. It dates from 1955, when the saxophonist Nemours Jean-Baptiste launched his band and his new sound, konpa direct, in Port-au-Prince. Its smooth, rolling groove also shaped zouk in the French Caribbean.

Rara. The street music of the season around Easter, with bamboo trumpets, drums and processions.

Mizik rasin. "Roots music", mixing Vodou rhythms and chants with rock and funk, which rose in the 1980s and 1990s.

Twoubadou. Gentle acoustic songs with guitar, played in the style of the old troubadours.

Gospel. A large part of the dial is Christian, and Haitian gospel has an audience of its own.

Listening from abroad

Large Haitian communities live in Miami, New York, Boston, Montreal, Paris and the Dominican Republic, and radio from home is how many of them follow the news. Haiti keeps the same clock as New York, including summer time. Expat radio covers the habit.

A route in
