IBA installs new FM transmitters in West Bank
February 23rd, 2010
The Israel Broadcasting Authority has installed four radio transmitters in West Bank settlements, which have had difficulty picking up IBA broadcasts. Several settlements, such as Ma’aleh Adumim, Beit El, Kiryat Arba and Ma’aleh Efraim, have not been able to receive IBA broadcasts for decades, or receive them partially. Drivers on roads to the settlements have on occasion been forced to listen to Palestinian radio, not being able to pick up Israeli transmissions.
MK Uri Ariel (National Union), who urged rectifying the situation, was notified yesterday that IBA installed transmitters for Reshet Bet 95.2, Reshet Gimmel 90.5, Reshet Moreshet (religious) 105.2 and Reshed Daled (Arabic) 93.7.
