Mid-East Junction

The power of radio during British-mandated Palestine


Listen Later

On 30 March 1936, the Palestinian Broadcasting Service hit the radio waves.

In this month's Mid-East Junction, we take a look at the short life of the PBS and the role it played in airing culture, news and social programmes aimed at all the three different audiences.
