Jawhara FM Online

Radio Jawhara FM, Tunisia’s second private radio station has launched its website with a live broadcast and a live webcam from its studios.

The website also offers a bunch of images, fresh news and interviews; attempting to make the website more journal-like and to attract more people online; aiming to significantly expand its audience, which has been limited to the Sahel region up to now.

According to the latest Mediascan statistics, Jawhara FM has managed to attract 77,6% of the larger Sousse area listeners.

Well I'm always supportive of such online ventures, and there is no reason for me to do otherwise this time around; I think the website is pretty well done, by Tunisian standards, and the live audio stream is of good quality.

There's a bit too much advertising on the site for my taste, but well that's not my choice to make.
It's a shame the website is not that search engine friendly and the use of frames makes it even worse. It will cost them a good number of could-be visitors.

Anyway, all in all, I think it's a good move by this radio station, which I think should try to expand its coverage to other surrounding regions and to the capital Tunis.
