The Juba Post (weekly in the south)

The government-run Sudan National Broadcasting Corporation (SNBC) operates two television channels, also available via satellite. There are no privately-owned TV stations apart from Juba TV - a cable service jointly owned by the government and private investors.

The government also runs Sudan National Radio Corporation, which broadcasts national and regional networks in Arabic, English and other languages. International broadcasters are also heard, including the BBC which is relayed on FM in Khartoum and other parts of the north, and from Juna in the South. There are also a number of other radio stations, such as:

Miraya (Mirror) FM (operated by UN mission from Juba)
Mango 96 FM (music-based Khartoum station)
Radio Liberty (Juba and Yei)
Radio Juba (government-owned radio in the south)

The Voice of Sudan is a clandestine shortwave radio service operated by opposition National Democratic Alliance (NDA), whilst Voice of Freedom and Renewal is a similar service operated by armed opposition group Sudan Alliance Forces.
