northern Jordan and surrounding areas with the launch of a new FM
transmitter in the region.
81.9FM
in Ajloun, started broadcasting on Wednesday 19 March, and ensures
that listeners in northern Jordan and in surrounding areas can tune
in to 麻豆社 Arabic in quality FM sound.
81.9FM
is the second 麻豆社 Arabic FM service in Jordan. Under a co-operation
agreement between the 麻豆社 and Jordan Radio and TV Corporation (JRTV),

Arabic Service, said: "This is a high-power project, carrying
the strongest FM signal in the region to complement the Amman FM
and to provide an excellent service to listeners in northern Jordan
and adjacent areas who are hungry for accurate, objective information.

believe that the new transmitter in Ajloun has started at the very
right moment. This new project is a major addition to our FM network
in the Arab world."
