Britain’s 1st Muslim Radio Approved

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The British media regulator has awarded a license for new radio stations, including the first national radio directed to Muslims in the country.

 The British Muslim Radio is planned to broadcast, among other things, speeches on Islamic themes.

In July 2013, the British channel 4 broadcasted the Muslim call to prayer on a daily basis during the holy month of Ramadan.

A year later in June 2014, British Muslims launched a special TV channel which joined a growing number of specialized broadcasting channels targeting the growing Muslim minority.

Channels for Muslim communities in the UK are not new and have been broadcasting in the UK since 2004.
