Al-Bayan is Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's (ISIL's) official radio station, based in Iraq, owned and operated by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which broadcasts at 92.5 on the FM dial. The station airs a news/talk format and broadcasts in the Arabic, Kurdish, English, French, and Russian languages. Originating from Mosul, Iraq, al-Bayan programs have been credited with being "highly professional and slickly produced" and have been compared to NPR and the BBC for tone and quality. Al-Bayan's reporting on ISIL military operations have been referenced by the Associated Press and the Washington Post.
Al-Bayan went on-air in early 2015 with English-language news bulletins added to the multilingual programming lineup in April of that year. The station offers a wide range of programming including nasheed, Quran recitations, speeches, Fiqh, language instruction, and interview shows, interspersed with regular news bulletins and field reports from al-Bayan correspondents in Iraq and Syria. English-language news bulletins are delivered by an American-accented, male newsreader and datelines are read in the Islamic calendar.
Known frequencies (April, 2016) are: Iraq: Mosul 92.5/99.3 FM, Fallujah 93.6 FM, Syria: Raqqah 99.9 FM, Palmyra 99.3 FM / Libya: Sirte 87.8 FM, Darnah 95.5 FM, Benghazi 94.3 FM.
The Arabic periodical al-Bayān (English: "announcement" or "declaration") was published once or twice a month from 1 March 1897 until 16 August 1898. It was edited in Cairo by Ibrahīm Al-Yāziǧī (1847–1906) and Bišāra Zalzal (1851–1905) and was the successor of the medical journal aṭ-Ṭabīb (1884–1885). Since 1898, Al-Yāziǧī, a linguist and journalist from Lebanon, particularly built up his reputation as the chief editor of the journal aḍ-Ḍiyāʾ (1898-1906). Apart from scientific articles, al-Bayān focuses on cultural and anthropological topics such as language and education.
