Ibn Saud adopted radio to govern his vast new Kingdom early on, installing Marconi transmitters, and carrying a mobile transmitter when visiting tribal chiefs. In 1927 he won over the Ulema who had considered it forbidden or magic by inviting them to listen to Koranic recitals broadcast from Riyadh, and read sections back to him. During the 1930s and WW2 he received radio transcripts from Europe. In 1949 he issued a Decree defining the framework for radio. Placing Emir Faisal in charge, he contracted ITT to build a station in Jeddah and studios in Mecca. It first broadcast during Hajj on 1 October 1949 with Faisal welcoming the pilgrims. Daily output, limited to 5 hours of religion, expanded in 1950 with broadcasts in Indonesian and Urdu. In 1953 Saud created the Directorate General of Radio, Press and Publishing to present Saudi Arabia to the world. Headed by Sheikh Abdullah Balkhair, it launched this magazine in November 1955 with Fahd Ismail Al-Abbasi as Editor. (Its name changed to Radio and Television Magazine in 1965, and it ceased in 1967/68).
