Bahrain’s government directory separates television feeds from radio stations. For an English-language listening session, its explicit reference is Bahrain Radio 96.5. That radio label should stay attached to the medium instead of being applied to every television channel.
At a glance
| Reference | Detail |
|---|---|
| English audio | Bahrain Radio 96.5 identified as English radio |
| Radio app record | BH TV & Radio, app 1454384254, published by Ministry Of Information Affairs |
| Channels app record | Bahrain Channels, app 992105518, published by Ministry Of Information Affairs |
Choose the named feed before the app
The government names Bahrain TV, Bahrain Lawal, Bahrain International and separate Bahrain Sports 1 and Sports 2 feeds. A reference to Bahrain television therefore needs the particular feed when a program or sports transmission matters.
Bahrain Radio 96.5 is separately identified as English radio. Bahrain International’s name alone does not establish the language of a particular TV item. Likewise, English wording in an app interface is different from an English soundtrack on a television program.
Similar Ministry app titles have different records
Apple lists BH TV & Radio under Ministry Of Information Affairs with app identifier 1454384254. Its published description discusses radio and a complementary television app, despite the broader title.
The same Ministry also publishes Bahrain Channels, identifier 992105518, whose description refers to national TV and radio. Its release history records radio being added in 2020. These are separate listing records, so keep the exact app name and identifier when referring to one.
Use the Ministry provider field and the app’s own description to identify the intended product. The listing history explains why older names or instructions may differ; it does not supply the current program order. For a specific broadcast, retain the named television feed or radio station alongside the actual program entry.
