- Kabul Rock Radio went on air on the 21st of March in celebration of the Afghan new year, Kabul Rock Radio (mix of music, entertainment and social programming dedicated to Afghanistan’s biggest demographic, it’s youth).
A few of our most popular radio programs range from a morning “Sufi” poetry and philosophy show, a global & classical music hour and our “Afghanistan Last Four Decades Program” which provides a platform for all the sides of the conflicts the past four decades to come together in our Kabul radio station to exchange their views and experiences in a peaceful environment and in the process serve as a call for transitional justice in Afghanistan.
In an effort to generate sustainability for TKG and increase our listener’s access to global perspectives, issues and voices we have also formed broadcast partnerships with various contractual partners:
TKG & Asia Calling (www.asiacalling.kbr68h.com) promotes via Dari and Pashto language programs those issues most important to the peoples of Afghanistan, China, India, and other Asian nations.
TKG and the international transmission service provider, World Radio Network (http://mt-shortwave.blogspot.com/2007/11/wrn-assists-voice-of-russia-with-fm.html) broadcasts The Voice of Russia’s Pashto and Dari programs across our Radio Killid network of stations. The programs allow our radio audience to hear about Moscow’s relations with the Islamic world, Russian-Afghan relations, current events in Russia and the life of the sizeable Afghan community in the Russian Federation and in the process aims to heal relations between the peoples of our two nations and cultures.
TKG & the Afghan Research & Evaluation Unit (AREU) works together to produce and broadcast programs which promote mutual accountability in Afghanistan.
TKG & the Afghan Ministry of Agriculture and GTZ are working together to produce radio programs that promote agricultural issues and aim to advance knowledge of new agricultural techniques and markets.
