Launch of the Independent Radio and Television Network (IRTN) in Iraq

Diyala Province, Iraq
March 25, 2007

As four Iraqi broadcasters of the Independent Radio & Television Network (IRTN) of Diyala look on, a member of the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs GO Team holds up a pair of jumper cables and explains to the media how he and the four IRTN broadcasters were able to fix the broken radio transmitter with jumper cables and a 12 volt battery, literally jumpstarting the radio station back to life after months of silence on March 25, 2007.
