ICRT 5.8

ICRT is Taiwan's hottest source for the latest music, news, and local happenings. We are Taiwan's only English radio station and proud to present to you the finest in on-air and online programming!

ICRT FM100 is an essential part of many people’s lives for news and entertainment. Its wide variety of programs are designed to meet the diverse and ever-growing needs of Taiwan. It is also a valuable tool for Taiwan residents to better understand English and join the global community.

ICRT was born on April 16th 1979, after the break in diplomatic relations between Taipei and Washington. From 1957 to 1979, the station’s predecessor, Armed Forces Network in Taiwan, served the needs of the US military then stationed on the island. AFNT was sold to the Taiwan government for US$1 as the American troops pulled out. Taipei International Community Cultural Foundation was established as a non-profit foundation to supervise the operations of this new radio station.

We are completely self-supporting, receive no government funding, and are an independent, non-profit organization.

ICRT broadcasts from studios in New Taipei City. There are two broadcast studios, one for FM and one for News. There are also two production studios where nearly all of ICRT's distinctive programming is produced. ICRT's programming focuses on music, news and entertainment. ICRT’s primary mandate is to serve the expatriate community in Taiwan, which constitutes about 5% of our audience, and to act as a cultural bridge to our local listeners, which makes up the other 95%.
