Radio Farda

Radio Farda is the Persian-language service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, aimed at listeners in Iran. The word farda means tomorrow in Persian. The programming combines news and analysis with current affairs features, interviews, reports on society and culture, and a music element with Persian and international pop that was part of the original concept of attracting younger listeners. The broadcaster is funded by the United States government through its international media agency, which shapes its editorial mission and should be kept in mind when comparing its coverage with other sources.

The station is produced mainly in Prague and Washington and reaches audiences by shortwave, satellite and the internet, which is the main route for listeners in countries where independent news is restricted. This listing is an alternative stream of the same service, and it carries the live Persian audio in a mix of speech and music. It suits listeners who want to follow current events or practise Persian comprehension. The stream is a live feed without a fixed bitrate announced, and it plays directly in your browser on RadioKite with no installation. You can add it to your favourites for quick access.
