Palestinian police to launch own radio station

The Palestinian Civil Police are planning to launch their own FM broadcasting station, modelled on the ones run by the neighbouring Israeli and Jordanian armies. With financial support already pledged from Turkey, senior commanders say they hope to be on air by the end of the year.

But getting the transmitter, coming up with a name and training officers to run it won’t guarantee that the station will be broadcasting by the end of the year. It still must get approval from Israel, which allocates radio frequencies to the Palestinian Authority under the terms of the 1994 Oslo peace accords.
