In late 2002 the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided $228,922 and the logistics necessary to Moby Capital Brothers 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 on 16 April 2003. Arman FM 98.1 offers entertainment programmes in Dari and Pashtu. Both male and female DJs give news reports and play Afghan, Indian and Pakistani music. Some initial negative responses to women on the airwaves and the use of colloquial language has been overcome and the station now has a large following.
