Faudelian Media Report

Radio

The Union of Soviet Faudelian Republics controls all radio broadcasting. The only radio stations in the country are state-run. A nationwide radio station, Radio Worker's Glory, is the most popular station and is often available on several different frequencies in the major cities, towns, and villages, and almost at all times in the area of major thoroughfares such as highways and railroad stations throughout the country.

Other domestic radio stations include 'Voice of Faudelia's Worker', 'Radio Victory', and 'Radio Ryan', named after the President of the Republic.

External media is very extensive. There are several radio stations that are broadcasted in the most common languages around the world, including Arabic, Spanish, English, French, German, and Russian. The main service of the Republic is 'Radio Voice of the Faudelian Worker Main Programme', which operates on three shortwave frequencies simultaniously and in the native tounge of Arabic.

'Radio Voice of the Faudelian Worker, Russian Programme', 'Radio Voice of the Faudelian Worker, Spanish Programme', etc. for each language listed above. They all operate on two frequencies with powerful 750KW transmiitters. They can be heard around the world during the night.

Television

The USFR controls all television broadcasts. The main domestic programs within the country are 'Channel 1 - News', 'Channel 2- Popular Movies', Channel 3 - Music, Channel 4 - Culture, Channel 5 - External, Channel 6 - Sports. Channel 5 broadcasts news, movies, sports, and other programs from television stations around the world.

All six stations are uplinked to several satellites worldwide, in order to improve on their visibility. TelStar, EuroSat, ArabSat, NileSat, AsiaSat, and many others broadcast the programs. There is also a purely external station, the Faudelian Satellite Channel, which broadcasts on all the above satellites as mentioned and is focused on expatriats around the world.

Internet

Everyone is provided a relatively modern computer, with free internet access. However, the internet is heavily censored for anti-Government and anti-Communist websites. The majority of the country is online.

The government has an extensive promotion of the Faudelian ideas online. They maintain online versions for all of their newspapers in Arabic, English, and Russian. They also have websites for most of the ministries and stream all television and radio stations online. Design of the websites are well done and are quiet fast. There are almost no spelling or grammar mistakes in any of the versions of the text and none in the original Arabic text.

Webservers are relatively decentralized and most websites have their own host server, IP, etc, providing better security for the government websites.
