Английская Википедия:Al-Bayan (radio station)
Al-Bayan (Шаблон:Lang-ar) was the Islamic State's official radio station,[1] based in Iraq, owned and operated by the Islamic State, which broadcast at 92.5 on the FM dial. The station aired a news-talk format and broadcasts in the Arabic, Kurdish, English, French, and Russian languages.[2]
Originating from Mosul, al-Bayan programs were credited with being "highly professional and slickly produced" and were sometimes compared to NPR and the BBC for tone and quality.[3][4][5] Al-Bayan's reporting on ISIS military operations had been referenced by the Associated Press and The Washington Post''.[6][7] The station stopped broadcasts after ISIS lost most of its bases in Iraq and Syria.
Broadcasts by IS resumed later from Sirte, Libya under the station name "Radio Al-Tawheed".
Beginnings
The first broadcast of Al-Bayan Radio was launched in late 2014, which initially provided newscasts, then some other programs were added in April 2015.[8][9] The station offered a wide range of programming including nasheed, Quran recitations, speeches, Fiqh, language instruction, and interview shows, interspersed with regular news bulletins and field reports from al-Bayan correspondents in Iraq and Syria.[10] English-language news bulletins were delivered by an American-accented, male newsreader and datelines are read in the Islamic calendar.[3]
Android application
In early 2016, Al-Bayan released an Android application, they uploaded the APK file on the Internet Archive and onion websites since you couldn't download the app on the Google Play Store.[11] They spread the app through social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Telegram.[12]
Frequencies
Known frequencies (October 2016) were:
- Iraq: Mosul 92.5/99.3 FM;
- Syria: Raqqah 99.9 FM[13]
- Libya: Benghazi 94.3 FM (irregular)[14]
- Libya: Darnah 95.5 FM (irregular)[14]
The station in Mosul was reported to have gone off-air after an air strike on it in late February 2017 as part of the Battle of Mosul.[15] Iraqi forces discovered the station in March 2017 in an upscale western Mosul neighborhood they captured. ISIS had burnt it down before fleeing.[16]
Libyan broadcasts
In February 2015, IS captured a radio station called "Makmadas" in Sirte, Libya. It was nominally run by Ansar Al-Sharia in Libya, which made it unclear whether that station was under IS management.[17] An IS-owned satellite television station and a powerful radio station on 94.3 FM, also based out of Sirte and operating under the brand name "Al-Tawheed," began broadcasting the previous October 2014. Radio Al-Tawheed (former Libyan Jamahiriya Broadcasting Corporation transmitter) have 10 kilowatts output power and is received in Europe via sporadic E propagation.[18]
The station operated in 2015 and 2016 before being overrun by Libyan forces.[19]
