Washington DC October 4, 2011: Radio Farda, the Iranian broadcasting service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s (RFE/RL) broadcast services, has joined forces with AudioNow to broadcast its Persian-language service on any mobile phone in the United Kingdom, 24/7, by calling +44 20 3519 3020.
“We are pleased to make available Radio Farda’s live stream via telephone in the United Kingdom,” stated Steven Korn, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s president. “London is an important Iranian diaspora community with influential members. We look forward to offering this service in countries neighboring Iran in the near future. ”
“Partnering with Radio Farda was a logical next step for us,” says AudioNow’s Chief Technology Officer, Marcel Barbulescu. “Our foray into the European market earlier this year left us well positioned to scale our network quickly as demand for our services increases. We welcome Radio Farda and look forward to our next partnership abroad or in the US.”

Radio Farda broadcasts political, cultural, social, and art news with an emphasis on Iran. It is one of the few remaining sources of uncensored news and information for people in Iran.
