A media of diverse communities

Montrealers have been listening to Radio Centre-Ville, the city's multilingual community radio station, since January 1975. They have enjoyed broadcasts in seven different languages: French, English, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese, Creole, and Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese).

Since its inception, the mission of Radio Centre-Ville has been to serve the community of a small territory of Montreal known as the "Quartier St-Louis", to be the voice of its voiceless and its community groups, and to enrich the Montreal community by showcasing the expression of the music and culture of both here and elsewhere.


A crossroads of cultures in the image of Montreal

Today, it is over forty communities that listen to and receive our services on a daily basis. The range of the broadcasts illustrates the interest of Radio Centre-Ville: to be both a resource for new immigrants and a crossroads of expression for all the voices of our society, thereby contributing to a feeling where people increasingly feel like citizens.

And all of this could not be achieved without the essential support of the 350 volunteers, who struggle on a daily basis, to give life to 102.3 FM. For the past 31 years, they have managed the radio at all levels. Everyone collectively collaborates, day and night, in order to create both an intercultural radiophonic project of quality and to increase the range of services offered to the collectivity.


Information with a different approach

The treatment of news at Radio Centre-Ville permits the listeners to better contemplate the stakes of their living conditions, the problems that impact on them, as well as the means by which to remedy the aforementioned. What results are rich and varied broadcasts, resembling the reality and needs of the community.

Radio Centre-Ville is always engaged both culturally and in the reception of the influx of new trends. It is home to musical and theatrical discoveries, and is a permanent artistic experimental stage. Check it all out for yourself at 102.3 FM!
