What is Radio Télé Métropole?
Radio Télé Metropole Haiti is a Port-au-Prince broadcaster with a radio service on 100.1 FM, a television service branded Télé Metropole and a news website.[1] A request for metropolehaiti.com is answered with a redirect to metropole.ht, which is the host serving the site's content.[1]
The site lists its own television output by programme title — among them Le Point, MetroNews, ANALIZ, Reportages, Rendez-Vous Economique, Les échos de la finance and GLAMOUR — alongside news, sport, culture and an archive.[1] No ownership instrument for the house could be retrieved and the site names no owner.[1]
Radio and television licensing in Haiti rests with the Conseil National des Télécommunications, whose own site carries Textes légaux and Textes réglementaires sections.[5] Reporters Without Borders states that the country has “more than 700 radio and TV stations, but only half operate legally with a licence from Conatel”.[4]
What does Radio Télé Métropole cover?
The news output retrieved on 23 September 2026 was general: items dated to 22 September 2026 on crop losses, the electoral process, the school year, security and food supply.[1]
Sport is carried as its own section, presented on the site under the heading Sport with a strand called “Nos Champions à travers le monde”.[1] The sport category index, read on 23 September 2026, was headed by an item dated 17 July 2024 on the seven Haitian athletes entered for the Paris Olympic Games, and below it items dated between July and September 2023 on the senior men's and women's national football teams, on Haiti's relegation to League B of the Concacaf Nations League and on the search for a stadium.[2]
The archive reaches considerably further back and is not confined to football. A sport page dated Wednesday 11 February 2004 carries draughts, reporting the 14th Pan-American championship at Cap-Haïtien from 16 to 28 January 2004 and two Haitian qualifiers for the world final; taekwondo, reporting a Haitian qualifier for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games; and tennis, reporting a Davis Cup tie against Uruguay from 6 to 8 February at the Cercle Bellevue in Port-au-Prince, lost 3-2.[3]
How large is Radio Télé Métropole's audience?
No audited audience measurement exists for Haitian radio or television that could be retrieved for this page, and the outlet's own site publishes no listener or viewer figure.[1]
The named monitoring body's statement is about the medium rather than the station. Reporters Without Borders places Haiti 107th of 180 in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index with a score of 50.32 and states that “Radio is the most widely followed mass medium. The country has more than 700 radio and TV stations, but only half operate legally with a licence from Conatel, the agency that regulates communications.”[4] That is RSF's characterisation, quoted and attributed; it attaches no figure to any individual broadcaster.
The one datable measure available here is publication currency, and it differs by section: the news index carried items dated 22 September 2026 while the sport index's most recent dated item was 17 July 2024.[1][2]
Since when has Radio Télé Métropole existed?
No founding date for the station could be retrieved from its own site, from a register or from the regulator, and the site states none.[1][5] No year is given here rather than adopt an unsourced one.
What can be dated is the archive. Sport pages retrieved from the site carry dates of Wednesday 11 February 2004, of September 2023 and of 17 July 2024, and the news index was current to 22 September 2026.[3][2][1] The earliest dated sport page retrieved is of 11 February 2004 and the most recent news items of 22 September 2026.
Why does Radio Télé Métropole matter in Haiti's sport?
Its sport archive carries sports no other outlet retrieved for this list carries. The 2004 page alone reports draughts, taekwondo and tennis, including a Davis Cup tie played in Port-au-Prince, which are sports for which no other dated Haitian report could be retrieved.[3]
Its more recent sport items are national-team material: the Paris 2024 delegation, the senior men's and women's teams and Haiti's movement between Concacaf Nations League divisions, dated between July 2023 and July 2024.[2] The section carried no item dated after 17 July 2024 when it was read on 23 September 2026, while the station's news output was current to the previous day.[2][1]
Its standing is as a broadcaster rather than as a measured audience: a radio service on 100.1 FM and a television service, in a market RSF describes as having more than 700 radio and television stations, half of them without a Conatel licence.[1][4]
