NYKFM, New York Kreyol FM, is a Brooklyn-based Haitian Creole-language radio station serving New York City's large and culturally vibrant Haitian-American community. Broadcasting from Brooklyn — home to one of the largest concentrations of Haitian Americans in the United States — NYKFM provides news, talk, cultural programming, and music in Haitian Creole, giving the community a broadcast space that genuinely reflects its identity and concerns.
The programming covers Haitian community news both locally and from Haiti itself, political commentary, cultural discussions, and the music that defines Haitian identity — kompa, rasin (roots music), and traditional Haitian folk forms. NYKFM speaks to both recent immigrants navigating life in New York and to second-generation Haitian-Americans maintaining cultural connections to their parents' homeland. The station also functions as a community resource, covering immigration issues, local elections, and events relevant to Brooklyn's Haitian neighborhoods like Flatbush and Crown Heights.
NYKFM streams online and is accessible to Haitian-American listeners across the US and to the Haitian diaspora worldwide. Free to listen, no subscription required. For Haitian-Americans in New York who want news and culture in their own language, or for anyone wanting to understand the rich cultural life of Brooklyn's Haitian community, NYKFM is an essential and authentic voice.
