You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==
Radio Afghanistan started with [[Radio Kabul]] in 1925 (1304 by the [[Afghan calendar]]), during the era of King [[Amanullah Khan]]. Two radio transmitters with the capacity of 400 watts were procured from the German company of [[Telefunken]], one of those has been installed on Koti Londoni near the bridge of Artel ((Citation needed|date=August 2011)) which subsequently started to its operation and the second one had been transferred to [[Kandahar]] which on that period the musical programs and news were only being broadcast for few hours. Television broadcasting facilities and studios were constructed in 1976 with grant aid from Japan,<ref>((Cite web |url=http://open_jicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/12150827.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2019-04-14 |archive-date=2019-04-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414222002/http://open_jicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/12150827.pdf |url-status=dead ))</ref> and the television broadcasts started on 19 August 1978.<ref>((cite web| url=https://content.library.arizona.edu/digital/collection/p16127coll6/id/37525 |title=Taraki opens Afghanistan's TV station |work=[[The Kabul Times]] |date=20 August 1978 |access-date=31 January 2021 |page=1))</ref>

Starting in [[Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan|2002]], the government started planning and attempting to reform RTA into a [[Public broadcasting|public service broadcaster]]. However this never came to fruition due to disagreements about the reform between president [[Hamid Karzai]] and other cabinet figures, despite the passing of several media laws. Eventually in April 2014, RTA was re-designated as an 'independent directorate', effectively meaning that the Ministry of Information no longer has direct control of the organization. Karzai's successor [[Ashraf Ghani]] also voiced his vision for RTA to become independent from the government.<ref>((Cite web |last=Bjelica |first=Jelena |date=2016-05-01 |title=“No Microphone for the President”: Can Radio Television Afghanistan still become a public service broadcaster? |url=https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/en/reports/context-culture/no-microphone-for-the-president-can-radio-television-afghanistan-still-become-a-public-service-broadcaster/ |access-date=2024-03-12 |website=Afghanistan Analysts Network - English |language=ps-GB))</ref>

== Mischelleanous ==
Radio Television Afghanistan has regional sub-stations for all [[provinces of Afghanistan]] which operate radio services, and in some provinces, basic television at a provincial level. They broadcast material produced at a provincial level, interspersed with news bulletins distributed by the Kabul-based news desk. These stations are usually closely affiliated with the provincial governors' offices. Broadcast content includes high volumes of government messaging.
