There are state-run as well as private TV and radio stations, and services from Greece and Turkey are also broadcast across the island. Most of the state broadcasting is in Greek or Turkish. There are daily programmes in English on the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation's Radio 2. Many commercial radio stations broadcast in English.

There is a military cable/satellite TV package available, as well as other satellite services showing CNN, BBC, SKY etc.

Added 01/03/06 by Cemal - "There are many internet providers in northern Cyprus. One of which is Extend broadband, offering a connection of up to 2meg with various plans to suit demand and pocket. With a solid backbone and a fiber optic connection to Turkey they are the best of the bunch. Their coverage is only in the kyrenia area at the moment but I'm told they are expanding to cover lefkosa and famagusta. The service is run by an expat ex-forces logistics expert so I doubt you will find the standard "but this is Cyprus" answer when you have an issue to be resolved".
