Description
READ Global describes KYD 91.1 FM as a community radio station serving Khotakpa, Yalang, and Denchi in Bhutan. The station was established to provide local access to timely information, education, and community discussion.
The page says the station was created with community ownership and management, with youth leading daily programming. It was launched with support from READ, the Ministry of Information and Communications, and funding from Swiss Development Cooperation.
According to the page, KYD 91.1 FM reaches several neighboring villages and is used for agricultural and health information, public debate, and Dzongkha language revitalization. The station is also working toward financial self-sustainability while continuing to support local communication and cultural preservation.
