Hot 93 Port of Spain

Hot 93 is a Trinidadian pop station on 93.5 FM in Port of Spain, playing contemporary hits. The playlist is a mix of current international pop, dance and R&B, along with Caribbean favourites such as soca and dancehall, with lively presenters who speak with the island's accent and add humour, news and entertainment items. The mood is youthful, energetic and upbeat, in line with a station named after the heat of the tropics.

Trinidad and Tobago has a rich musical culture, famous for calypso, soca and steelpan, and radio plays a central role in the carnival season, when new songs compete for popularity. A contemporary hit station like Hot 93 is a companion for the car and the office, and the online stream lets Trinidadians abroad keep in touch with the sound of home. As a commercial service, it carries advertising and promotional messages between songs. The language is English, with Trinidadian expressions, which is an interesting experience for learners. This stream is delivered as AAC at only 32 kbps, a very low bitrate that uses minimal data and is adequate for casual listening, though the sound is less detailed than on higher-bitrate streams. It plays in your browser on RadioKite, and you can add it to your favourites.
