Radio stations urge authorities to recognise community media

AMMAN — A group of eight Jordanian community radio stations on Monday urged the Media Commission to recognise them.

The non-profit radio stations also called for creating a legislative environment that supports community media, adopting UNESCO’s definition of community radio stations, cancelling fees paid by the stations to commission and the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission.

The stations are Al Balad, Sawt Al Karak, Yarmouk FM, Sawt Al Janoub, Tafileh Radio, Zarqa Municipality Radio, Liqaa and Husna.
