Description
Dhivehi Raajjeyge Adu, the Voice of Maldives, is the oldest broadcaster in the country, on air since 29 December 1962 when it started as Malé Radio, assembled with a do-it-yourself spirit by hobbyists. It is now the flagship radio channel of Public Service Media, the state broadcaster, going out in Dhivehi on 89.0 MHz FM and on 1449 kHz medium wave, a combination that reaches roughly ninety per cent of the atolls where FM alone would not. The schedule is built on news, information and public service programming with Maldivian music and entertainment between, including magazine strands such as Baajavevi Henduneh, and since 1970 it has carried daily Dhivehi translations of the Quran. For much of the archipelago it remains the most trusted place to hear what has happened.

Contact route
The channel publishes its own social presence on its own brand page: a Dhivehiraajjeyge Adu Facebook page, Instagram account, TikTok account, X account and YouTube channel. The written route is the broadcaster's and shared with Dhivehi FM: PSM's Contact Us page, with a live POST form carrying an area-of-contact selector, an explicit anonymous option, a short national telephone number, a mailbox and the head-office address. The stored stream page separately carries, in the footer of every page, the Radio Building address in Male with a telephone number, a fax number and a mailbox.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| language code |
dv
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
Public Service Media's own brand page states the channel broadcasts in Dhivehi; filed as English |
| homepage url | https://psmnews.mv/stream/radio-dhivehi-raajjeyge-adu → https://psm.mv/brands/adu | the stored address was the operator's stream page on psmnews.mv, whose only social links belong to the PSM News brand rather than to this radio service; psm.mv/brands/adu is this station's own brand page and carries five of its own accounts |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| The short national number, the two Radio Building numbers, the fax, both mailboxes and both street addresses | no telephone numbers, addresses or email addresses in this file.
source |
| The PSM News Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts that are the only social links on the stored stream page | those belong to the corporation's news brand, not to this radio channel, which publishes its own five accounts on its own brand page.
source |
| That the form and switchboard belong to the parent corporation | provenance: they are PSM Maldives routes shared with Dhivehi FM, and the footer telephone and fax are printed as plain text with no tel: link.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
