  • Panorama Farah: The first of its kind in Jenin, this news program, hosted by Abdelnasser Abuabeid, provides the governorate with accurate and timely coverage of local and nationwide events.

Palestine News Network - West Bank

  • News Bulletin gives participating radio stations the opportunity to provide their local audiences with hourly updates of current news items from contributing reporters throughout the West Bank.

This program presents local news to a national audience, enabling citizens of each governorate to be aware of the issues affecting people elsewhere throughout the West Bank as well as the solutions those communities may have developed.
