Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) is a broadcaster funded by the U.S. Congress that provides news, information, and analysis to countries in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East where a free press is banned by the government or not fully established. RFE/RL is supervised by the Broadcasting Board of Governors, a bipartisan federal agency overseeing all US international broadcasting services. Founded as an anti-communist source of information during the Cold War, RFE/RL was headquartered at Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany from 1949 to 1995. In 1995, the headquarters were moved to Prague in the Czech Republic. European operations have been significantly reduced since the end of the Cold War. In addition to the headquarters, the service currently maintains 20 local bureaus in countries throughout their broadcast region, as well as a corporate office in Washington, D.C.. RFE/RL broadcasts in 28 languages to 21 countries including Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq.
