Radio Ibo: A Reference Station Built on Professional Journalism
Radio Ibo launched on April 1, 1997, broadcasting from Delmas 49 in Port-au-Prince on 98.5 FM. From its inauguration, the station quickly established itself as one of the reference points on the Haitian radio dial, building a reputation around balanced debate, measured tone, and professional journalism rather than sensationalism.
The station describes itself as a "metisse" station, one that privileges Haiti and its culture while remaining open to the wider world and cultural diversity. That balance shows up in its programming, which spans community information, political coverage, sports, talk, and cultural content, anchored by interactive shows that invite genuine audience participation in the conversation.
Much of Radio Ibo's credibility traces back to its leadership. The station is directed by Herold Jean-Francois, a journalist with more than three decades of career experience, respected across Haiti for his editorials and his measured approach to difficult subjects. That professional standard extends to the broader team of journalists and commentators the station has assembled, considered among the best available in the profession, reinforcing Radio Ibo's standing as a credible source in a media landscape where that reputation has to be earned and maintained.
For listeners looking for balanced, professionally produced coverage of Haitian politics, culture, and current events, Radio Ibo has built its identity around exactly that standard since 1997.
