Radio Nacional de la R.A.S.D.
Radio Nacional de la Republica Árabe Saharaui Democrática is the state-owned public radio broadcaster of the Sahrawi Republic."Radio Nacional de la RASD" started broadcasting on 28 December 1975, shortly after the beginning of the Western Sahara War. Previously, some emissions had been made from supportive radio stations in Algiers and Tripoli, as "La Voz del Sáhara Libre". In the first months of the station and due to the war situation, the first transmissions were made from moving trucks, with very limited airplay.
In 1977 the first studios and archive were inaugurated in the Sahrawi refugee camps, while in late 1978 the power of the station rose to 20 kW, transmitting to all Western Sahara, Morocco, Algeria and part of Mauritania. In 1991 the station upgraded to 100 kW, with a transmitting tower of 120 m.
