USAID helps Afghanistan broadcast nationwide with new satellite dish |
Putting Radio Afghanistan on the Air |
|
The national radio station of Afghanistan, Radio Afghanistan, began broadcasting nationwide in early June 2002 with USAID's technical and financial support. A satellite terminal has been installed at Radio Afghanistan, linking Radio Afghanistan's signal to shortwave transmitters that broadcast the station's programs throughout Afghanistan.
