AmmanNet - a Jordanian NGO established in November 2000. In its
initial year it was sponsored by UNESCO and the Greater Amman
Municipality. It has been supported by the Open Society Institute,
Westminister Foundation and Media Development Loan Fund. AmmanNet
is a leader in innovative media activism. It is the first
Internet-based radio station in the Arab world. It has received
wide recognition for its innovation and ability to overcome a
seemingly impossible situation by being able to broadcast an
independent radio station in a country that bans independent radio
stations. In July 2005 AmmanNet began broadcasting to the
residents of the greater Amman municipality on the FM frequency
92.4.
