BBC News is reporting this morning that the Taliban in Afghanistan have re-commenced broadcasts under the name Voice of Shariat, the name of the former national broadcaster when they were in power. The report quotes a Taliban spokesman as saying that a half-hour programme was broadcast on Tuesday night and would now be broadcast daily. The station appears to be low powered, probably using a mobile transmitter, and can only be heard in parts of southeast Afghanistan. No frequency is mentioned in the report, but presumably it is on mediumwave.
