Paywast signed a partnership contract with Youth FM Radio on February 4th, 2013 in Kabul. Under the contract, the Youth FM Radio uses Paywast Live services to receive listeners’ questions, feedback and votes via SMS during sporting events and other entertainment programs. The new partnership will enable the radio network to even broaden its already popular programing among a dynamic and media savvy young population who increasingly communicate with their mobile sets sending text messages.
