Guyana News & Radio

Guyana's news, live Guyanese radio, the weather and the Guyana dollar, every holiday, and a Creolese word a day, for Guyanese at home and abroad. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Guyana News & Radio is independent. It does not represent the Government of Guyana or any government agency, and it is not affiliated with them. Every source the app uses is listed below under SOURCES, with its link. NEWS Guyana's news from the papers listed under SOURCES, by topic: politics, oil and gas, the economy, Venezuela and the border, crime and courts, cricket and sport, the diaspora, culture, travel, the Caribbean, the environment, health and education, and power, water and roads. Follow your town and topics: a notification at most once a day each, never at night. RADIO FROM HOME Live Guyanese radio anywhere, from the stations listed under SOURCES. By genre (talk, hits, soca, chutney and Bollywood, faith), with favorites, saved songs and a sleep timer. TODAY AT HOME The time in Guyana, the weather in your town, the Guyana dollar against your currency and what money sent home comes to, the price of Brent crude, and GPL and GWI outages in the news. EVERY HOLIDAY Mashramani, Phagwah, Easter, Arrival Day, Eid ul-Adha, Independence, CARICOM Day, Emancipation, Youman Nabi, Deepavali, Christmas and Boxing Day, with the Monday off when one falls on a Sunday; school terms, CSEC and CAPE exams, the tax deadline and the budget. Reminders the evening before. CREOLESE, AND GUYANA EXPLAINED A Guyanese word or saying each day, from gyaff to "Wan wan dutty does build dam". Tap GECOM, the Stabroek Block or the Essequibo under a headline for a plain-English explanation.
