[1] Affiliated with Radio Algeria, this Islamic radio began broadcasting on July 12, 1991 on medium waves (MW), with an hourly rate of daily broadcasting of only six hours a day, from 05:00 AM until 11:00 AM.
[2] The foundation of this radio station was made when the writer and novelist Tahar Ouettar was the director general of the Algerian national radio stations.
[3][4] This radio continued to broadcast in this manner until March 6, 1992 when it began to produce and diversify the panel and range of its broadcasts.
[5][6] Quran Radio has nevertheless experienced fluctuations in the hours of its broadcast since its creation until July 5, 2008 when the hourly rate of its broadcasts stabilized for ten hours a day divided into two periods.
[7][8] Since 2008, the morning time slot of its broadcast thus extended over a period of two hours, going from midnight 0:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m., while the second period extended from 5:00 a.m. from morning until 1:00 p.m.[9][10] The two-hour period extending from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. was devoted to the countries of the African Sahel on medium waves, and it will be rebroadcast in the same night on shortwaves, and this from 8:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.[11][12] The diffusion of Quran Radio has been extended from Thursday, February 18, 2021 to broadcast its broadcasts over a continuous 24-hour period.
