DW has a new radio partner in Afghanistan. Radio Arakozia will now be broadcasting the evening program from DW Pashto daily. The Afghani partner is one of the most popular radio stations in Afghanistan with one of the largest broadcasting ranges in the country and a strong presence in Pashto-speaking areas.

Representatives from DW were at the Asian Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Digital Broadcasting Symposium in Kuala Lampur. The representatives from DW’s technical operations department presented DW’s potential new distribution channels to a large assembly of international experts at the three-day conference. DW and ABU have a long history of cooperation.
