Algeria Quran Radio is an Algerian Islamic radio channel.[1]
Affiliated with Radio Algeria, this Islamic radio began broadcasting on 12 July 1991 on medium waves (MW), with an hourly rate of daily broadcasting of only six hours a day, from 05:00 AM until 11:00 AM.[2]
The foundation of this radio station was made when the writer and novelist Tahar Ouettar was the director general of the Algerian national radio stations.[3][4]
This radio continued to broadcast in this manner until 6 March 1992, when it began to produce and diversify the panel and range of its broadcasts.[5][6]
Quran Radio has nevertheless experienced fluctuations in the hours of its broadcast since its creation until 5 July 2008, when the hourly rate of its broadcasts stabilized for ten hours a day divided into two periods.[7][8]
Since 2008, the morning time slot of its broadcast thus extended over a period of two hours, going from midnight 0:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m., while the second period extended from 5:00 a.m. from morning until 1:00 p.m.[9][10]
The two-hour period extending from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. was devoted to the countries of the African Sahel on medium waves, and it will be rebroadcast in the same night on shortwaves, and this from 8:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.[11][12]
The diffusion of Quran Radio was extended on 18 February 2021 to broadcast its broadcasts over a continuous 24-hour period.[13][14]
