1-What are the goals of radio Numidia?

The goals of radio Numidia are:

• To make known the traditional and modern cultural
• Algerian inheritance,
• To inform the public of the cultural and artistic
  events major in the USA and elsewhere in the world.
• To give the word to the artists and to men of culture in order to create an exchange on the productions with the partners and the public.
• To diffuse the knowledge and the knowledge to make modern and traditional in direction of Algerian established in America, mainly to organize debates on alarming subjects populations, in particular problems of emigration, insertion, and adaptation in American society.
• To give the word to the underprivileged social groups (old women, people, handicapped physical, etc.) in order to better do to have the problems that they meet to be integrated into the remainder of the community.

2-Why did you choose Numidia as name your radio?

Numidia is the ancient country of north and North West Africa, very roughly the modern Algeria.

3-How do organize your work by using Numidia web site?

The web is not ready yet and we’re looking for somebody to help us finish it, and we intend to use it to inform our listeners about cultural events in USA and to add news about Algerian or amazigh life all over the world.

4-You do not use only Tamazight in your program, why
this chooses?

As you know Algerian people are Berber and the language we speak in Algeria is Algerian spoken language (dardja) and it’s mixed between Kabyle, chaoui, m’zab, targui, and we thought that since this is the only radio in USA and not every one understands tamazight, why don’t make it for all Algerian American to make everybody happy.

5-How much time are you going to give to the Tamazight language in your radio station?

Tamazight and Algerian spoken languages are the main languages in radio numidia, and they will share the time of streaming because we think it’s not fair to privilege one from another.

6-Did you get any sponsor or any financial help to maintain your radio site?

Not yet and we’re asking Algerian community for that to help us maintain this station and keep it running well. As you know we need music tracks, more equipment and we need to pay the bills of course, but we’re taking care of this from our own money.

7-Radio site is not really like real radio, what do you think about this idea?

You’re right about that, and we’d like to let people know that we’re struggling with the company that had set up this site for us because we don’t like it and that’s not what we’ve asked for. That’s why we are looking for a web designer to help us out. It will look like a professional radio when it will be done with contact information and other helpful links.

8- What is the message of Radio Numidia?

Radionumidia.com wants to be a tool for the service of the Algerian community, living in the United States of America. Our motivation is to share the music we like, make people feel home, and to spend a good time together.

9-Is Radio Numidia Amazigh Radio or Amazigh-Arabo radio station? Which language do you use to which audience?

Radio Numidia is for all Algerian, we don’t think we could say its arabo-amazigh because the only language we have in Algeria is Algerian and not Arabic. We’re not Arab and if we go to Arabia Saudi or Dubai or somewhere else in the Middle East they won’t understand our language. The Arab used in Algeria now we’ve learned it at school but if you take people who never went to school they don’t understand this Arabic. If Algeria is for every one so is radio Numidia. It’s like medi-1 in morocco, beur-fm in
France, and the only difference we could say is the spoken language, in radio Numidia we speak more Berber than these two radios, and stream live events in Tamazight. We don’t have to fear any one for telling or doing the right thing. Imazighen have the right to be served like any other community. We think that radio Numidia is for numidian people. We’re not dividing people into two but radio Numidia is trying to unit Algerian community in the United States of America.
