Radio Lebanon (better known by the official French term Radio Liban or Arabic: إذاعة لبنان, pronounced Iza'at Lubnan) is one of the pioneering and one of the oldest Arab radio stations.[1][2] The main programme is in Arabic with a second channel broadcasting in other languages, mainly in French, but with additional programming in English and Armenian. The second channel also rebroadcasts some programming from Radio France Internationale (RFI) French language news programming.[3] Radio Liban also broadcasts for 12 hours international programming destined for the Lebanese diaspora and for international listeners. International programming is in Arabic, French, English, Spanish and Portuguese. The station reflects mainly the official line of the Lebanese government and being a non-partisan neutral channel also the views of all mainstream political forces in Lebanon. It also applies a neutral stance on pan-Arab and international affairs.
