name: Arman FM
text: Arman Radio is a private radio station, initially supported by USAID, currently running on its own advertising and production revenues.
  
  In late 2002, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided $228,922 and the logistics necessary to Moby Capital Group to jump-start Kabul's first private, independent FM radio station, Arman FM. Moby Capital matched USAID's funds and was able to begin broadcasting April 16, 2003.
  
  Arman Radio is part of Moby Capital Group, a company owned by an Afghan-Australian, Saad Mohseni. Arman FM is considered to be a top radio station in Afghanistan.
  
  The radio has been criticized by religious leaders of the country for airing western and Indian music and also for its hit show, Youth and their Social problems, a program which advises youths on how to deal with their social problems.
  
  Its main rival is Killid's station in Kabul, but the stations are quite different, with Arman FM mostly being geared towards music and entertainment.
