BBC FM radio transmissions suspended in Afghanistan
The Taliban government in Afghanistan has suspended BBC FM radio transmissions across the country, citing repeated violations without providing specific details. The BBC remains the only international news organization to broadcast inside Afghanistan since previous bans on US outlets. Despite the suspension of local FM frequencies, the BBC continues to reach audiences through alternative channels including shortwave, medium wave, satellite, and online platforms. The broadcaster emphasizes its commitment to fair and independent reporting in Pashto, Dari, and English.
