HTS

What is HTS?

HTS is a Saint Lucian television news service. Its website, htsstlucia.org, carries the footer “© Copyright HTS News 4orce 2026, All Rights Reserved”, and its navigation links a live stream, the radio station Radio 100, news headlines, sports and weather.^[1]

Its company profile page is a staff directory organised under News Desk, Radio 100, Weather, Front Desk, Sales, Accounts, Traffic, Production Team, I.T. Department, Master Control and Engineering, and Management; it includes a Sports Anchor. The page gives no founding date, owner or channel number.^[2] No company register entry or broadcasting regulator's record for HTS was retrieved; the regulator's site could not be read.

What does HTS cover?

HTS publishes sports reports on its site, with a sports path at htsstlucia.org/sports/; as retrieved on 26 September 2026, that path listed items dated from May to July 2026, followed by undated items whose titles refer to 2019.^[1][3]

Cricket. On 25 May 2026 HTS reported: “The Saint Lucia Premier League T20 ended in emphatic fashion on May 23 as the City Blasters defeated the Choiseul Craft Masters by 73 runs”, at the Francis “Baba” Lastic Grounds in Gros Islet.^[4]

Football. On 11 June 2026 it reported: “The Saint Lucia Semi-Professional Football League (SPFL) is back for its third season.”^[5] On 12 June 2026 it reported that the Saint Lucia Football Association (SLFA) Inc. “recently held its 40th Annual Ordinary Congress on June 6 at the Bay Gardens Hotel in Rodney Bay”, held, in the report's words, “To outline strategic plans for forthcoming national and international tournaments and to determine the future direction of the association”.^[6] The sports path also lists an undated item on a St. Lucia under-15 international football debut.^[3]

How large is HTS's audience?

No audited television audience, radio audience or web-traffic figure for HTS was retrieved, and no television-audience currency covering Saint Lucia was found. That is a limitation of the evidence.

The page header of its company profile reads “HTS News 4orce St. Lucia's #1 News Team”; that is the outlet's own claim and is not a measured figure.^[2]

Since when has HTS existed?

No founding or first-broadcast date could be confirmed from HTS's own pages: its home page and company profile, as retrieved on 26 September 2026, give none.^[1][2] Its sports path lists undated items whose titles refer to 2019.^[3]

As retrieved on 26 September 2026, its home page listed news items dated 24 and 25 September 2026.^[1]

Why does HTS matter in Saint Lucia's sport?

HTS is a television news service that keeps a sports anchor on its staff and reports the island's own competitions, among them the Saint Lucia Premier League T20 in cricket and the Saint Lucia Semi-Professional Football League in football, and it reports the football association's governance, as with its congress of 6 June 2026.^[2][4][5][6] It pairs the television news service with a radio station, Radio 100, and a live stream.^[1]

Monitoring body. Freedom House, in Freedom in the World 2024, scores Saint Lucia 3 out of 4 on free and independent media and states that “A number of private and independent news outlets carry content on a range of issues.” It names no outlet.^[7] Its Freedom in the World 2026 edition also scores Saint Lucia 3 out of 4 on the indicator.^[8]
