Index
Radio and television broadcasting were operated by the
government. In 1990 there were an estimated 250,000 television
sets in the country and about 6 million radio receivers. Sudan
Television operated three stations located in Omdurman, Al
Jazirah, and Atbarah. The major radio station of the Sudan
National Broadcasting Corporation was in Omdurman, with a
regional station in Juba for the south. Following the 1989 coup,
the RCC-NS dismissed several broadcasters from Sudan Television
because their loyalty to the new government and its policies was
considered suspect.
In opposition to the official broadcast network, the SPLM
operated its own clandestine radio station, Radio SPLA, from
secret transmitters within the country and facilities in
Ethiopia. Radio SPLA broadcasts were in Arabic, English, and
various languages of the south. In 1990 the National Democratic
Alliance began broadcasts on Radio SPLA's frequencies.
