BBC Pashto
BBC Pashto is the Pashto-language service of the BBC World Service, carrying international and regional news, analysis and discussion. It has broadcast to Afghanistan and the Pashto-speaking regions of Pakistan since 1981 and holds an audience built over four decades.
Unlike most services on this list, BBC Pashto is radio and television only — it publishes no podcast feed, so the live stream is the way to hear it. Its audience research has consistently placed it among the most listened-to international broadcasters in Afghanistan.
