Iraq Radio Stations

Iraqi radio rebuilt itself repeatedly through decades of upheaval: the state Iraqi Media Network runs Republic of Iraq Radio, while a diverse private sector spans Baghdad talk stations and religious broadcasters. Arabic dominates nationally, but Kurdish-language radio thrives in the autonomous north through stations aligned with Erbil and Sulaymaniyah. The maqam tradition and classic voices like Kadim Al Sahir remain beloved playlist staples.
