It is part of the Lebanese Communication Group. Its coverage reaches all Lebanese territories as well as northern Palestine and the Syrian coast. It broadcasts 24 hours a day on the following frequencies: 91.7, 91.9, and 92.3 FM. The radio station launched its website (http://www.alnour.com.lb/) on May 9, 1999, and incorporated continuous live online broadcasting in February 2006. During the July 2006 war, the Israeli Air Force bombed the building that housed the radio’s offices and studios in a residential area of the southern suburbs of Beirut. However, the radio resumed its live broadcasting seconds afterwards from another undisclosed location, and it continued doing so even after the war.
