Radio Télé Timoun 90.9 FM: A Community Voice for Port-au-Prince
Radio Télé Timoun—heard on 90.9 FM in Port-au-Prince—has long stood out as a station where young people and families hear themselves reflected on the air. Broadcasting from Tabarre, it blends news, culture, education and music with an emphasis on participation and service. The result is a truly local signal that sounds like the capital: lively, resilient and deeply rooted in community life.
Programming is designed to inform and to empower. Throughout the day you’ll hear newscasts and talk segments that unpack national developments, practical features on education and public health, and magazine shows that highlight arts and culture. Faith and civic engagement are frequent themes, and children’s and youth voices—central to the station’s identity—add energy and perspective you won’t find elsewhere.
The station’s health and human-services content is especially valued. Regular advice segments connect listeners with doctors, educators and social workers who answer common questions and point toward resources. In a city where radio remains the most accessible medium, these on-air conversations double as lifelines, translating expert guidance into everyday Creole and French and meeting audiences where they are.
Music ties everything together. Expect a welcoming mix that moves from Konpa and troubadou to gospel, roots and contemporary pop, setting an upbeat soundtrack for morning commutes, market days and weekend gatherings. Between songs, presenters keep the focus on what’s happening now—road conditions, school events, community announcements and opportunities to help after storms or other crises.
