Description
The site at sanaaradio.org publishes as إذاعة الجمهورية اليمنية — البرنامج العام, with the English line "Yemen Radio" and the claim of broadcasting since 1947. Its own banner announces the launch of what it calls the official website of إذاعة صنعاء - البرنامج العام in a new form, "لتقديم الأخبار والبرامج والمحتوى الإذاعي للجمهور داخل اليمن وخارجه" (to present news, programmes and radio content to the public inside and outside Yemen). Its own About page describes it as "إذاعة رسمية وطنية", an official national radio service, and traces itself from first broadcasts from Sana'a in 1947 through 1962 and into the General Public Authority for Radio and Television at unification in 1990. It runs a rolling daily schedule of news bulletins, national songs and poetry, religious, social and cultural programmes, and publishes a newsroom whose copy is datelined عدن - سبأنت.

Kind
A mix of live and recorded, and the station says which is which item by item. The news bulletins, the morning programme صباح اليمن, اتجاهات الصحافة and صوت المقاومة are marked مباشر; the music, poetry, religious and cultural blocks are marked تسجيل.

Worth knowing
The schedule is one of the more precise I have read anywhere in this batch: seven days, a programme count per day, start and end times to the minute, a daily/weekly marker and a live/recorded marker on every single item.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| homepage url | http://www.sanaaradio.net/Programs.aspx → cleared | the stored address answers HTTP 404, checked 2026-09-27 |
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 second site of the same name | sanaaradio.com does not serve a site: it returns a 301 to sanaaradio.ye, which refused connection on both ports from here, as did sanaaradio.net on 8443. So there is a second domain publishing under the same Arabic name that I could not read. Everything in this block comes from sanaaradio.org alone, I have not asserted which of the two the catalogue entry refers to, and I have not proposed a homepage for this entry as a result. A human on a residential connection should open sanaaradio.ye before any homepage is stored.

| The station's slogan and its self-description | The site describes itself with a phrase that asserts a position on who the legitimate authority in Yemen is. Quoting it would put that characterisation into the catalogue, and the brief is to say what the station does rather than where it stands, so I have left the slogan out and recorded here that it exists.
source |
| The news content | The newsroom copy on the site is political and military reporting carrying one side's framing. It is the station's own output and it tells you the channel is news-led, which is in the description, but none of the individual claims are repeated here.
source |
| A characterisation of the programme صوت المقاومة | The title and the station's own one-line description would let me write something about the station's alignment. I have listed the programme name and its time and stopped there.

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.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
