Cyprus has a thriving radio landscape, with 93% of Greek Cypriots tuning in every day.[1][2] Most stations broadcast in FM, and there's a mixture of state and private-run stations. This article lists all radio stations broadcasting in the southern part of Cyprus and overviews the major stations broadcasting from the part of Cyprus under Turkish Occupation. The British sovereign military bases of Akrotiri and Dhekelia also operate radio transmitters. In addition to domestic broadcasts, Cyprus hosts international broadcast centres beaming content to the Middle East.

Occupied Cyprus

Public stations

When Turkish Cypriots withdrew from all official positions in the Republic of Cyprus in the aftermath of the Cypriot intercommunal violence, Bayrak assumed the role of the public broadcaster for the Turkish Cypriot enclaves first, and occupied Cyprus after 1974. It currently produces six radio programmes on FM[11] while Turkey's public broadcaster TRT emits in Northern Cyprus via Radyo 1 and Radyo 2, and also the radio station of the Presidency of Religious Affairs of Turkey called Diyanet Radyo.[12]
