history

Following on from the Telegraph Act of 1906, regulations for broadcasting were enacted on June 6, 1926, after which numerous small private stations were formed in Cairo and Alexandria .

Non-commercial broadcasting began on May 31, 1934 under a contract with the British Marconi Company (announcementهنا القاهرة huna l-qāhira 'Here is Cairo'). The inauguration took place with the participation of the Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum . According to the Lucerne Wave Plan , there were two transmitters each in Cairo (620/1348 kHz , the first frequency with an output of 20 kW) and Alexandria (1122/1429 kHz), which broadcast both an Arabic program and a program in English and French; In 1938 Assiut was added in Middle Egypt (731 kHz, only in Arabic). A radio magazine has been published since 1935. In 1943 the contract with the Marconi Company was extended, but in 1947 it was terminated due to anti-British resentment on the part of the Egyptians, whereupon the radio became the sole Egyptian sponsor ( Egyptian State Broadcasting, ESB ).

In 1949 a broadcasting law was passed. Television began broadcasting on July 21, 1960. In 1966, separate presidential decrees for radio and television were issued; Both areas were merged in 1971 to form the Egyptian Broadcasting Union (ERTU), which in turn became part of the National Media Authority (NMA) in 2017.
