History
Radio Afghanistan started with
Starting in 2002, the government started planning and attempting to reform RTA into a public service broadcaster. However this never came to fruition due to disagreements about the reform between president Hamid Karzai and other cabinet figures, despite the passing of several media laws. Eventually in April 2014, RTA was re-designated as an 'independent directorate', effectively meaning that the Ministry of Information no longer has direct control of the organization. Karzai's successor Ashraf Ghani also voiced his vision for RTA to become independent from the government.[5]
Mischelleanous
Radio Television Afghanistan has regional sub-stations for all provinces of Afghanistan which operate radio services, and in some provinces, basic television at a provincial level. They broadcast material produced at a provincial level, interspersed with news bulletins distributed by the Kabul-based news desk. These stations are usually closely affiliated with the provincial governors' offices. Broadcast content includes high volumes of government messaging.
