A voice for every listener, city by city.
Radio Shahr ba Shahr broadcasts news, education, culture and community programming from Charikar to listeners across Parwan, Kapisa, Panjshir and beyond — a bridge between people, languages and lifestyles across Afghanistan.
Empowering through Information
We believe communication and dialogue are the foundation of peace and unity. At SBS we act as a bridge — providing news, cultural content and educational programming that informs, educates and connects our listeners across Afghanistan and beyond.
Three pillars of community radio.
Journalism, engagement, culture — the three commitments that shape everything on 104.6 FM.
Local News & Reporting
Ground-level reporting from Parwan and surrounding provinces — verified, contextual, and in your language.
Community Engagement
Surveys, listener call-ins and field visits so our programming reflects what communities actually need.
Education & Culture
Cultural programs, educational content and Islamic programming that celebrate Afghanistan's heritage and shared future.
Where the signal carries.
From our Charikar transmitter, our signal reaches listeners across Parwan, Kapisa, Panjshir and into parts of Kabul, Kunar and Logar. Because Afghanistan is mountainous, the coverage follows the valleys and passes — not a perfect circle. Every day, on 104.6 FM, we are on air.

We run listener surveys, community meetups and field visits so our programming reflects what communities actually need — not what we assume.
Listener surveys
We regularly run structured listener surveys — in person, by phone and via Kobo forms — to understand what programs land, what topics matter, and what is missing from our schedule.
Field engagement
Our reporters and volunteers visit villages, bazaars, and community centers across Parwan and neighbouring provinces to gather stories, verify reports, and stay accountable to our audience.
Where else you'll find us.
Daily news, weather, exchange rates, Quran translations, community stories — updated across our channels.
Keep the signal on the air.
