What we say	Read from	When
Description Tropik FM is a local community station for the northern French Antilles, describing itself in its own words as "une radio locale de proximité diffusant à St Barth et St Martin" and, on its own profile, as a "Station de radio sur Saint-Barth et Saint-Martin". Its slogan is "Cé nous zot même !". It publishes three FM frequencies and runs a commercial department for local advertisers. Its own site address, www.tropikfm.com, is still the one it gives out, but that domain no longer resolves.

Artists not published. No playlist, song history or now-playing surface was reachable, because the station's own domain does not resolve and no stream address is published on any page of the operator's own.

Contact route the station's own Facebook page and Instagram profile, both active, and its own page text advertises a "Service commercial". Its own website is unreachable, so there is no working contact page, form or published studio line I could verify; the two accounts are the only routes I can confirm.

Era not the point; this is a local speech-and-music service, not a period format.	TROPIK FM ST-BARTH, the station's own profile, corroborated by its own page TropikFm Stbarth at facebook.com/tropikfm.stbarth	2026
Music local proximity radio; music with local news and event coverage for the two islands.	TROPIK FM ST-BARTH, the station's own profile, corroborated by its own page TropikFm Stbarth at facebook.com/tropikfm.stbarth	2026
Language French, with Antillean Creole in its own slogan and branding.	TROPIK FM ST-BARTH, the station's own profile, corroborated by its own page TropikFm Stbarth at facebook.com/tropikfm.stbarth	2026
Kind at least partly live, on its own evidence of outside broadcasts "en Direct", but the balance of live, voicetracked and automated hours cannot be established without a reachable site or stream.

Worth knowing the country code this row arrived with is wrong, and the station's own naming settles it. Both of its accounts are registered as St Barth, one displaying the name "TROPIK FM ST-BARTH", and its own description puts the station "sur Saint-Barth et Saint-Martin", broadcasting to both from the former. Saint-Barthélemy has its own ISO code, BL, which is what this row needs; MF is Saint Martin and is only part of the coverage area.

Where Saint-Barthélemy, with coverage extending to Saint-Martin. Frequencies published by the station itself: 97.5, 104.9 and 104.7.	TROPIK FM ST-BARTH, the station's own profile, corroborated by its own page TropikFm Stbarth at facebook.com/tropikfm.stbarth	2026
On air none. I looked at both of the station's own accounts, which are the only first-party surfaces still up, and at the dead domain; no presenter is named.	TROPIK FM ST-BARTH, the station's own profile, corroborated by its own page TropikFm Stbarth at facebook.com/tropikfm.stbarth	2026
Programmes none published. Its own profiles carry no schedule; the only programme evidence is its own live outside-broadcast posts, one titled "Festival St Barth & l'eau en Direct sur TROPIK FM", which shows it does live event coverage but gives no airtimes.

What we corrected

Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.

Field	Change	Why
country code	MF → BL	The station's own accounts settle the island. Its Instagram profile is registered as tropikfm_stbarth and displays the name 'TROPIK FM ST-BARTH', with a bio the operator wrote reading 'Station de radio sur Saint-Barth et Saint-Martin' and 'Nous écouter \|\| 97.5, 104.9 et 104.7'; its Facebook page at facebook.com/tropikfm.stbarth is registered as tropikfm.stbarth and describes it as 'une radio locale de proximité diffusant à St Barth et St Martin'. Both handles and the display name identify it as the St Barth station, and its own description makes St Martin part of the coverage rather than the base. Saint-Barthélemy is BL; the stored MF is Saint Martin. The station's own site www.tropikfm.com, which it still cites on its Facebook page, no longer resolves at any public resolver, so its own accounts are the only first-party evidence available.

What we found and did not publish

Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.

What we could have said	Why we did not
the postal address, e-mail address and telephone number that circulate for this station	every copy I saw was on a barred directory, and the station's own site, which would confirm them, does not resolve. source
the frequency-to-locality pairings that directories attach to the three frequencies	the operator publishes the three numbers together without saying which serves which village, and I will not invent the split. source
follower counts from the two accounts	widget figures, not facts about the station. source
a homepage_url proposal	www.tropikfm.com fails to resolve at every public resolver I tried, returning SERVFAIL rather than an answer, so the row is right to hold no homepage until the operator's DNS is repaired. The check that would close this row is a fetch of that domain once it resolves, or the icy-name and icy-url of the station's own stream server, neither of which is published anywhere first-party today. source

If you think something here is wrong

Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.

Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research current as at 2026.
