Islamic radio

Islamic radio is a category of radio formats that focus on transmitting programming with a Islamic message.[1] Radio stations can be public, private and non-profit (or some form of Community radio).

These radio stations typically focus on Islamic religious programming, such as reading of the Quran, talk radio-style programming (sometimes including live radio call-in shows) and/or long-form "preaching and teaching" programs with news programming with associated topics that can have an economic or a political angle to Muslim community.

Many secular radio stations devote some of their weekend programming to religious programming; for example, during Friday prayers or Eid Mubarak, Ramadan.
