Description
Its own "من نحن" section on this page dates the station to 2005 and describes "سومر أف.أم" as an independent, lively arts, entertainment and educational radio station staffed by a team of young creatives split between directing, presenting, producing, transmission and management. It says its programming addresses every layer of society, that adults and children both listen, and that it carries Iraqi, Kurdish, Arabic and foreign songs alongside social, service, scientific, medical, literary, sports and competition programmes and programmes made for children. It also says it prepares special coverage for religious and national occasions.

Artists
It publishes no playlist, song history or now-playing block. Its own words name only the categories it plays, Iraqi, Kurdish, Arabic and foreign, not individual artists.

Contact route
Two telephone lines for programmes on one Iraqi network, two SMS short codes on two different Iraqi networks, a WhatsApp line for taking part in programmes, and an advertising email address on the alsumaria.tv domain. Also a station app for iPhone and Android and the standard share routes. No web contact form is offered for the radio itself.

Music
Mixed music and speech. Iraqi, Kurdish, Arab and international songs with magazine, quiz, cultural and youth talk strands.
|

|
Language
Arabic. The station's own about text, every show description and every show title on its own shows index are in Arabic; it says it plays Iraqi, Kurdish, Arabic and foreign songs, so Kurdish-language music is in the mix but the presentation language is Arabic.

|
Kind
Live and presenter-led in its named slots, and its own about text states that it carries the news bulletins of the Al Sumaria television channel live, so part of the day is an announced relay of the sister television service.

Worth knowing
Its own about text says the evidence for its standing is the thousands of telephone calls and text messages that reach the station daily, and the contact block on the same page is built around exactly that, two telephone lines and two SMS short codes on two different Iraqi mobile networks plus a WhatsApp line for joining in programmes.

On air
حسام القيصر presents طل الصباح. سجى فائق writes and presents استديو Noon, directed by محمد نصر. داود عماد writes and presents واتساب, directed by عمر جهاد. توب 10 is written, presented and directed by the same person, whose name the site spells نؤاس يوسف on that page and نواس يوسف on the منتدى سومر page, which he also presents. جات بالليل names nobody.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
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 "euromaxx" entry that sits at the top of the same /sumerfm-shows listing and the "يوروماكس euromaxx 06:00 PM to 06:30 PM LIVE" block in the on-page schedule widget | euromaxx is a television magazine and the block it sits in is the Al Sumaria television channel's coming-next widget, not the radio's grid. This is the network bleed the brief warned about and I have kept it out.
source |
| the television channel's own navigation, its news feed, its Ramadan programme archives and its drama-serial archives, all of which sit on this page | they are the television site's furniture and none of it is presented as radio output.
source |
| the three entertainment news articles the page files under a SUMERFM heading | they are web articles carrying that tag on the television site, not radio programmes, and one is stamped with a date four days before I read the page.
source |
| the page titles of the six programme pages, each of which reads "برنامج ... على قناة السومرية" | that is the site's shared template wording placing every programme on the television channel, while the body of each page says the programme airs on Sumer FM. I relied on the body, not the title.

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.
