Veteran journalist Muʾnis al-Zuhayrī took to social media to express his anger, writing, “You have insulted the idea, the value, the content, and Jamāl ͑Abd al-Nāṣir, who established the radio station in 1964. Stop the ads in the Holy Qurʾān Broadcast.” He was referring to the state of the Holy Qurʾān Broadcast on the radio, which has become a source of frustration for many media professionals and citizens. People are upset that the radio station has turned into an advertisement broadcast that includes political publicity and societal guidance material with only a few Holy Qurʾān programs.
