Saudi Arabia Radio Stations

Radio in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's state broadcaster BRTC (Broadcasting Service of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) operates the national radio network, and like most Gulf states, Saudi radio is shaped by the intersection of Islamic broadcasting tradition and the country's rapid modernization. Saudi radio carries extensive Quran recitation programming — the Holy Quran Radio channel is one of the most listened-to broadcasts in the Muslim world. The country's Vision 2030 modernization agenda has opened space for entertainment radio: MBC FM (Saudi pop, international music) and Virgin Radio Saudi are popular commercial stations in Riyadh and Jeddah. Saudi Arabia's enormous wealth has made it a major destination for international Arab radio talent, and Riyadh-based stations increasingly set trends for the Gulf region.

Major public broadcaster: BRTC. Holy Quran Radio has massive global reach. Major commercial stations: MBC FM, Virgin Radio Saudi. Arabic pop, Islamic programming, and international music are dominant.
