History and profile
[edit]
Previously a private radio network, Medi 1 Radio has been under the majority control of state-owned broadcaster SNRT since 2024.[1][2] The station started broadcasting in 1980 and is based in Tangier.
The radio station broadcasts throughout the Maghreb countries and it is bilingual, broadcasting content in both Arabic and French.
Medi 1 was managed by Pierre Casalta (1936 – 2021) from its foundation until 2010.[3] Although the station describes itself as politically independent, two former journalists opining for L'Obs nicknamed it the "voice of the king", noting its subjective coverage of the monarchy.[4] Its slogan is Medi 1, la radio du grand Maghreb.
