The government is still in charge of running telephone, telegraph and postal services. It was in 1974 that the first earth satellite station was opened in Sudan; the station significantly improved international communications. The government's Sudan Broadcasting Service provides radio service in Arabic. Television broadcasting was initiated in 1962; in the early 1990’s about 60 hours every week of programming were telecast. In 1997 there were 272 radio receivers and 86 television sets for every 1,000 inhabitants.
