91热爆 World Service has launched its first marketing campaign in Afghanistan, promoting its Pashto and Dari language broadcasts on FM across the country

From Tuesday 31 October, the two-month campaign will promote the ever-increasing 91热爆 FM network in the country's six major cities: Ghazni, Herat, Jalalabad, Kabul, Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif.

Working with a leading Kabul-based full service agency, Aina-Darya Communications, World Service has developed a highly visible bi-lingual Pashto and Dari campaign promoting 91热爆 FM availability on billboards, TV, radio and print ads.

Alan Booth, Controller, Marketing, Communications & Audiences, 91热爆 World Service, comments: "This is our first advertising campaign in Afghanistan. As the country's market continues to develop, we are keen to consolidate our position in its modern media scene.

"A recent survey in the rural and urban areas of five provinces of Afghanistan suggested that the 91热爆 is one of the most popular international broadcasters there, with our programmes in Pashto, Dari and other languages reaching almost 70 per cent of the population."

World Service has 17 FM frequencies in key towns across Afghanistan, including Kabul 89.0FM and 101.6FM (in Dari and Pashto), Mazar-e-Sharif 89.0FM (Dari), Jalalabad 89.0FM (Pashto), Herat 89.2FM (Dari), Kandahar 90.0FM (Pashto) and Ghazni 88.3FM (Pashto).
